The iPhone has a full QWERTY keyboard. Although it's virtual, it may be one of the best touchscreen keyboards ever. People always rag on it since it's not a physical keyboard. Any phone takes getting used to. Spend some time with the virtual keyboard and you'll love it just as much, if not more, than any other keyboard you've had on any other phone.

A wireless charger? How is that even called a feature? It's more of a cool-factor than actual usability. I have no problem with plugging in a charging cable...just like the millions of phones out there.

Copy/Paste, Multi-tasking, all of this will be introduced in the iPhone 3.0 Software upgrade. Just wait until it's released, and we'll see how the reviews stack up against the Pre.

Actually i love the idea of wireless charging, i have alot of cables on my desk to begin with, and once you factor in the fact half of themm fall inbehind my desk when nothing is hooked up.... genius idea.

So now that the new iPhone 3GS has been announced, what do you guys think? Yay, nay?

I'm excited and am definitely going to get it. For those who are currently iPhone 3G owners, it doesn't look like much reason to upgrade, but since I will be a first-time owner, it's looking very appealing to me.

Is the new announcement still enough to win you over the Pre?

32gig iPhone for $299 is a damn good price. I wonder if that comes with a contract? I might pick one up if I can do pay as you go so I can hack it for T-Mobile like my 1st gen iPhone.

Pretty cool stuff!

Im a Blackberry user...addict I should say, but I cant lie and say that the iphone is not appealing to me as a business user. My entire life revolves around what my phone can do and help me get done for work. I really wish one of the devices would include a superior or upgradeable microphone unit so I could do interviews from my phone, that would be sick! Im going to be keeping my eye on this one though...

Uh, how can it appeal to you as a business user if it doesn't have a keyboard? ..

You don't need a keyboard Travis! My dad uses an old Nokia 6320 for work and he prefers that over the Blackberry supplied for emails. A keyboard just makes them incredibly bulky... He also has an iPod Touch and actually prefers that to the Blackberry affair too...

Is your dad a business man like me? And if you don't need a keyboard, why do laptops and keyboards have keyboards?

He's the second-in-command to a multi-million pound NHS Agency. And why do keyboards have keyboards? Well at the least I'd be a bit hacked off if my keyboard didn't do what it said on the box!

I'm first in command of a multi million dollar agency as well. And you still haven't told me why there are keyboards if they are not needed?
