Greetings I recently finished going through through your blog along with I’m very impressed. I do have a couple queries for you personally however. Do you consider you’re thinking about doing a follow-up submitting about this? Will you be likely to keep bringing up-to-date too?

Whitney, remember me? I was bored and looking through some blogs, and came upon yours. Happened to read this and one word comes to mind: Hallelujah! People have been asking me why I don't have an iPhone, especially being in the creative field, and I always mentioned the interaction design elements…however, never as well as you did in the blog. Thanks! Good read.

I don't think AT$T is that much problematic and if still for some people than the company is offering repair services too..
1- Find helpful guides to resolve issues immediately.
2- Report a repair problem online.
3- Update, cancel, or check the status of a repair request.
4- Access self help troubleshooting tools to easily identify and fix problems.

Me too, and with the algorithms Apple has in place, I can type quite fast.

I definitely agree that fun to use is just as important as easy to use. But for my purposes, I need a useful phone for business, not a toy ;)

Agree that the lack of haptic feedback is important (personally I was saddened when the iPod lost a physical click wheel – but not for long!) but usability isn't everything. Don't forget that the touchscreen interface is simply fun to use. Fun trumps usability anyday :)

Hey, love your blog and liked this post. (Even though I disagree with it.)

You said:

"Notice the difference in hand positions. On the iPhone, the user must cradle the device in one hand and hit the keys with their index finger. On the BlackBerry, the holds the device in both hands and can type with their thumbs."

I always type with two hands on my iPhone, just like you picture of the BlackBerry.

I type with both of my thumbs on the keypad, typing with one index finger is for n00bs.

Also I don't need tactile feedback. The reason is because as I'm mashing away on the touchscreen keypad I'm too busy already feeling something – how awesome I am for owning an iPhone.
