Someone correct me if I'm wrong here (which never happens
), but last I checked the iPhone doesn't throw up the letter until you actually type it....... which if you typed the wrong letter, you've still made a mistake. Sooooo, I don't really see the benefit of it. Sure, it throws up the big letter, but if it's the wrong one, you still have to hit delete... just like on the Storm, which would show the wrong letter in the typed field. Am I missing something here? The mistake is still being made when typing on both keypads, so neither one is more beneficial in your perticular position.05-01-09 08:59 AM - From what I gather, it doesn't 'select' until you lift your finger. So, if you hold it briefly, you see what letter you're over. If you see you're typing the wrong letter, you can slide your finger over and release over the correct letter.Someone correct me if I'm wrong here (which never happens), but last I checked the iPhone doesn't throw up the letter until you actually type it....... which if you typed the wrong letter, you've still made a mistake.

- I have an iPod Touch and I think you are right. But, that very difference would make it a great improvement on the Storm. I am pretty used to the storm right now and make less mistakes than I used to, but think about it. On the iPhone it gives you a popup balloon that might be too late, on the Storm it highlights the key, you can see the color shining out around the edge of your finger but doesn't count as being typed until you then click it. So on a Storm the popup would be a great function because you would see it in time to avoid clicking and could move to another key without having to backspace!! If there were an app that could completely take over the standard QWERTY like this, I would be seriously interested.Someone correct me if I'm wrong here (which never happens), but last I checked the iPhone doesn't throw up the letter until you actually type it....... which if you typed the wrong letter, you've still made a mistake.
