iPhone Keyboard

Filed in archive Mobile Phones on June 24, 2007

After reading more about the iPhone over at engadget "New details about the iPhone" I am not sure that we can say that the iPhone is a business phone.

I would suggest forgetting about an iPhone in the short-term and maybe even the long-term; it simply is not a business phone.

According to people testing the iPhone currently, the keyboard cannot be used with two thumbs (a typical Blackberry method of typing). The one finger, single digit is the way to go on the new keyboard; this is not a method that can be sustained for long. Forget trying to write emails of any length with such a keyboard.

The iPhone cannot be compared to a Blackberry or even a Motorola phone for that matter. The wireless office is better off without an iPhone it would seem at this stage. Stick with the Blackberry.
