i'm right there with you. i'm returning my iPhone. The keyboard is a little annoying, but yes, when you get used to it, you can deal with it. here's what bugs me... after 2 days. i had programs quitting on me, and throwing me back to the main page. No cutting and pasting is a bigger deal than i thought. the text messages look cool, but really not good, because i can't forward a message, and i can't send the same message out to multiple people without having to type it all over again. the email sucks, because i can't put any attachments. so if i wanted to email more than one picture, i have to do it one at a time. another pain. i made one phone call that was about 15 or 20 minutes, and my battery went from full to half. i really wanted to find reasons to keep this phone, but for the price i paid, i dont want a phone that's just "alright". I'll just see what happens when the next version comees out... i'll just be sure that i dont run out and get it the first day.

The email program is absolutely awful. Checking only 15mins...not being able to select multiple emails for delete...on top of that, having to then go into the Trash folder and AGAIN, delete one by one...no copy and paste...etc.

I dont think i am being picky. These are functions that PDA's have had for YEARS!!! Its like Apple decided to take a step backwards with the email program.

Additionally, the battery life sucks. Why its not removable is just stupid. Another way for Apple to make more money off us. $80 for a replacement once a year. Forget that!

The keyboard...not even going to get into it. If you have an iPhone, you know my frustrations. In todays world, we email and text in cyber-slang. Almost every email i have written, it has changed the word i meant for it to be, to something completely different.

I havent been waiting 5 months for this device...i have been waiting over 5 years, since the Newton, for Apple to come back out with a handheld.

Wasted time.
