This is the Sprint phone with which you are required to get a $100/month contract, right??? Thats ridiculous! How can they possibly expect people to pay such a *huge* premium versus a normal phone contract when the web browser it totally unusable?! Are these product executives completely dense?
Considering even the expensive iPhone is only $60/month. That would easily make up for the difference in pricing, not to mention that the new 3G iPhone will probably be subsidized by AT&T down to $299 or even $199.
-- About the touchscreen, I'm not sure about any other phones as it's been awhile since I've tried a touchscreen/virtual keyboard, but I LOVE the keyboard on the iPhone. It is MUCH EASIER to use than the Treo 700wx I was using, and I'm at least twice as fast on the iPhone and make much less errors.
For those who haven't tried it, do give it a try! It works much better than you would expect. I myself was very skeptical when I first saw it, and I was gladly surprised to find it so functional. Even if you don't prefer it, the iPhone is obviously worth buying for so many other reasons...
