Yeah I have used it. I tried and tried for a long time, and there is no way my speed or accuracy ever got up to blackberry speeds. Also, I had to stare at the screen the whole time and couldn't touch-type. Try typing out about 3 pages of legalese without looking and compare accuracy and time.
And the auto-replacing dictionary sucks if you need to type in multiple languages or use technical/legal terms. The iPhone has one advantage in supporting the display of japanese text, but you can't type back in Japanese and it hates romanji. It hates legal terms and abbreviations even more.
I have yet to see anyone who actually was decent at typing on a blackberry be faster on an iphone for any substantive e-mail.
