| Agreed that the text entry using the touch screen sucks. However, it must be understood that there are millions of Mac die-heart fans out there who would just buy whatever that is Apple. And then there are many more who just blindly follow the crowd. |

Also, to any one reading this. This is a forum for Microsoft window mobile so there is a bias against apple a competition of Microsoft.

So if you want to know whether the on screen is good, the only way is to try it out with the actual product. |

| So if someone who doesn't have English as their primary language will have a real hard time trying to type a message on this device, say if they were to text a friend and they wanted to type in their native language. |

If you wishes to edit Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel files, type text quickly and communicate it over a high speed network, or enjoy third party programs DONīT buy a Windows Mobile device except you like to hardreset/softreset it every day........... |

i don't believe it said anywhere in this guy's article that he actually used it.
i like the idea of all screen and no keys. i haven't had a chance to try one out, but i can't imagine the iphone keyboard is any worse than my blackjack. i stumble over the keys all the time. |

| I hear from people I know who use it that it is fast. My biggest knock on ms mobile phones is how slow they are. My jasjar often misses calls after I hit the talk button for example. |

Watch the videos for the iPhone, they use the forefinger to type.
The big mistake people are making is using their thumbs, a thumb is just too big for the keyboard. Try a smaller finger. |
