    ditto. My wife wants me to upgrade my iPhone so she can have mine.

    As for the keys, you get used to it. Not a problem. I'll take the tradeoff of a virtual keyboard for a bigger screen for reading emails surfing web watching movies playing games etc.

    Well, like I said on the first page of this thread, the Pre is going to be awesome, and now that I've had it for 7 weeks, I mean it even more.
    The new iPhone 3Gs is pretty good but I'll throw this in there to stir the pot.
    ATT's coverage blows. It's well known, go to any iPhone message board.
    I'm sure some of you here have ATT and have good coverage, but overall, they stink.
    Then, Sprint has better plans.
    For $70 a month, you can get 450 anytime minutes, nights that start at 7 (free weekends), unlimited Internet, unlimited text (which is extra on ATT), GPS (another $10 a month on ATT), Sprint TV.
    Or for $100, all of the above plus unlimited talk time.
    You could save a lot of cash over the 2 years.
    And no, I do not work for Sprint.
    If anyone wants to know more about the Pre (or Sprint), PM me.

    So, 70 total eh? Or is that 70 before taxes and such making it 90'ish. That's why I brought up the new Android, the MyTouch, because that bill is 70 or so with everything.

    In fairness, go to any phone's message board and you'll find people frustrated with coverage issues. I've had three different networks; ATT doesn't seem to be any better or worse.

    As for the keyboard, you quickly get used to it, and they've done an amazing job of making it forgiving. Basically, if you even hit the keys close to spelling out the word you're trying to spell, it knows what you meant to do. Sometimes it's kind of freaky.

    It even corrects drunken spelling effectively. Absolutely amazing.
