   It took me a couple of hours to get used to the typing, but once I got the hang of it I liked it (though I never had a phone with a keyboard before the iPhone so my view is skewed). I'll be curious to see if you like it in a few days.

   rob,

   After playing with it a bunch, I'm getting the hang of typing, but it's still kind of cumbersome. I have large, flat thumbs, which makes for a lot of mistypes. I also hate skipping my punctuation, which necessitates flipping back and forth between screens a lot. I'd much prefer a "2nd" key akin to the shift key, rather than having to actually switch keyboards completely.

   All that being said, having a "real" browser in my pocket that is always connected sure is nice.

   The double space == . helps, but I agree. I like to punctuate (even though I do it incorrectly :D). At the minimum, it would be nice if, say, holding down the return key offered simple stuff like a comma or something.

   Actually, you can, by the way, hold down the number button, and then if you don't lift up your figure you can pick a punctuation char then when you lift up your finger it'll go back to the letters.

   That's not a good description, but I think you get my meaning.
