i don't know about you guys, but this is definitely making me nervous, considering i text probably more than i make calls. maybe this is true, maybe it's not. or maybe it just takes some time to get used to, but i am very nervous about the keyboard. now, i'm sure i will be able to tackle it after some usage, but it makes me really wonder how this device will do with people who aren't exactly tech savy. which is probably going to be a large portion the the iphone users.

though!

Yeah, i have no doubts that people are going to get used to it, some even powering through it. As for people not being tech savvy, I dont imagine it being an issue for just text entry, andm for heavy texter's one finger QWERTY MAY be faster that hitting a button 4 times to get S. WHo knows? and there will be tons of skill levels with this thing, I'm sure.
I would say don't be nervous, and I'd imagine that ATT's 30 day return policy is still good.
