While I respect everyones opinion, I have to disagree about the MUST have keyboard. Not having a keyboard was one of the reasons that I bought the iPhone. I like many people that I know have larger fingers and a pre-pressed keyboard with it's tiny keys doesn't interest me at all. Neither do I think that a "Smart phone" has to have a keyboard to be considered a contender in the corporate world. The iPhone has a "Smart Keyboard" It remembers the most typed in words that fit my vocabulary and it enlarges those particular letters touch area so that I can type fast and quickly without problem. In fact it is very "SMART" and it actually helps me type. You won't get that out of a hard shelled pre-made attached keyboard. I type faster and with better aaccuracy than I ever did with tiny keys. And the screen real estate? Definitely a must! I don't like to squint to see tiny things.
We still have not seen what Apple has yet to do with the iPhone. They can compete with RIM. but as far as the idea that a phone must have a real keyboard attached? I say I disagree with this writers opinion.
