I've just seen the keynote delivered by Steve Jobs at Apple.com. One thing i've noticed about the iPhone's keyboard is that it's kinda cumbersome to enter capitalized letters, symbols, numbers and punctuations. And I'm not comparing it to hardware keyboard buttons like on the Blackberry.
I'm sure anyone who owns a WM5 enabled PPC will know of the onscreen keyboard. It's so easy to enter a punctuation or number or capitalized letter. To enter, say, an exclamation mark, simply click on "1" and drag upwards. Same thing goes for all other letters. Dragging upwards simply equals to pressing the shift key on normal PC keyboards. Dragging left equals backspace, and dragging right equals space. I noticed that Steve had to press an extra button to go to some sort of a "punctuation view", where the keyboard changes to a list of punctuations. This is going to be very troublesome if you have to enter a lot of punctuations in, say, an email. I hope Apple changes it's current keyboard functionality to somewhat emulate the one in WM5 before it's final release, that'll be really great.
