    Okay I want an I phone but I love my pearls textinh abilities and I hate the idea of the touch screen.

    Since I use my BB for mostly textinh and surfing, I don't want to get an iphone an hate the touch screen text.

    I tried it in store and the letters were small enough that I was hitting two at once, and my fingers are normal girl sized or even small on average.

    Is there a way to change the letter size or anything?

    I love the iphone in every other wayexcept for the touch pad text and that's what I use my phone for most!

    If you hate touch screen why would you even consider the iPhone? Get a Storm, you can type in full QWERTY or SureType like you're use to.


    Or a G1 HTC G1

    No you cannot change the size. The typing is very frustrating at first but after a week it will not be an issue at all. Toying with it in the store is no indication of how typing will be after you've owned it for a week or so.

    I text A LOT, and switching from my Curve 8310 to the iPhone was hard at first, but now its not an issue. If I still make a mistake I barely notice because the phone fixes it for me. I think all phones have their own issues and drawbacks but the iPhone is a perfect fit for me.

    What most people do not realize is that the iPhone gets easier after using it extensively. You aren't going to be a pro when you first start using it. In fact I wasn't even good at typing on the Pearl at first and ended up loving the SureType more than the QWERTY keyboard. Now I'm in love with texting on the iPhone. I actually type faster than I did on my Curve. My best friend used to say the same and now he has it and he types even faster than me. I type fast too.

    Before I bought an iPhone, the keyboard was one of my biggest concerns too. But now I love it. Don't let it hold you back. It's a great device.
