agree on text input. my first day or two were filled with inaccurate typing as I was trying to type as I had on WM TYTN etc
but then I got into the flow of letting the iPhone do its thing and you can type a text message with what "feels" like you're typing some Welsh town name or something, and it gets across to my wife correctly as "I'll be home in 15 minutes"

Phone and text are two of the major strengths of the iPhone for me. I know some avid texters don't like that you can't forward SMS (from the standard app), but that aside it works very well, and the keyboard is absolute genius. You'll never "get it" in a shop as there's a small learning curve involved (as with most on screen keyboards) but once you're up and running its fantastic.
Can't fault it as a phone - it's certainly a lot easier and less frustrating to use than my old WinMo phone. Everything's laid out on screen clearly, the proximity sensor is great, the calls are loud and clear, I never have trouble with signal... basically perfect.

i actually really like texting part of the phone and the conversation mode view was a very good idea(watch all the other phone makers soon start to incorporate that bit;) )
with every phone, there is a learning curve with data input, but once ur fingers adapt its a breeze and autocorrect works really well

I don't mind the txting, it's the My Words function I miss from my SE phones. The first thing I do with a new phone is add in all my favourite names and places to speed up txt entry but can't do that with the iPhone, and Apple's version of T9 is not as good as SE's IMO. The camera and lack of video calling bug me but the biggest problem is the ease with which I accidently bump the Silent Mode switch. Grrr... Still lovin' those Apps and the multitouch though, so all is forgiven.

I love the silent switch, nice and simple. If I could add anything, I'd put in another switch just like that for the wifi, since I like to switch that on and off regularly to save on battery life.

@carkitter Definitely agree with the annoyance regarding not being able to add your own words in to the text database. It should at least hold a list of the commonly typed words, and learn not to correct them. It annoys me when i quickly type 'Xx' at the end of the text to my g/f and it always corrects it to 'Fx' lol
@Boinng, IMO Apple really have a lot to learn from the functionality that the jailbreak brings to the table. You can add a wifi toggle to your springboard, or even better (for me) SBSettings which only requires a quick swipe across the status bar to bring up fast toggles such as wifi, bluetooth, brightness etc.
