I have an android phone but only because I don't like virtual keyboards. If they made an iphone with a slidey keyboard i would snatch it up.
If I were to get a smart phone I would get an Android for exactly this reason.
Unfortunately I can't afford a new phone or a data plan so I'm just going to keep using my regular-ass phone.
I have to actually say the touch interface on my non-iphone is so damn good I have only unslid it a couple times, when I wanted to type out a long bit of potential writing before I lost it from my headmeat.
The text prediction on it is REALLY good. I mean REALLY good and it's even very forgiving of missing the first letter, and it gives alternate word selections in a carousel menu so you almost never type a whole word...and the landscape keyboard is actually very comfortable enough for my very large fingers, while the portrait one takes a little more precision but is very usable.
oh and it can do incredible computing tasks like run two apps at once ...
The iPhone autocompletion/correction thing kinda irks me once in a while. I just wanna type hell without it trying to correct the word as he'll. And other assorted irritating words. Plus my fingers feel too fat sometimes
those ads with the phone typing stuff by sliding it all around the keyboard without lifting your finger looks intriguing.

it takes a minute to get used to type-on-release texting but when you do it makes the touch screen much more usable.
I think either those are just an interim solution for the testbed ones and will be replaced with the standard volume rocker, or they're going to be multifunction buttons that are assignable in some apps, like using them as a shutter or zoom for the camera.
but i dunno, we'll have to see if this is even the real form factor come june
After reading the whole giz article, I change my mind. I really like this. Not enough to be pissed that I'm stuck with a 3GS for another two years, but this is definitely a cool phone. More-HD screen, nice. Two volume buttons that can be used for a camera button, nice. Overall, it's pretty neat.

Hmm, that would be nice. I guess I'd have to play around with it for a bit. It's not as though I use the volume controls that often as-is, but RAR ARARAR CHANGE IS BAD.
While this does look good, I won't be rushing out to spend £££s on upgrading from the 3GS. When you consider what it can actually do, for the size it is, I'm content with it.
e.g. Take a video of something and have it sent around the world within seconds. All from something that fits in my pocket. Fucking remarkable.

I host a podcast about movies.
he'll and ducking are the most annoying
"We have a great deal! You can call any five numbers for free, any time!"
"Here is an app that will dial one number to access any number in the world, so you can call everyone an unlimited amount."
":x"
what is 'super-jailbreakable'
cause it's already been jailbroken
like, super easy. I'm super serial.
it is hella lame
oh no it's stuck in my head now too
re: autocorrect - any time i'm at chili's and i text people that i am there, it autocorrects to cholos
apple HQ is definitely in california all right
not a fan of those volume buttons
crisis averted: back to listening to Homestuck Vol. 4

Savages! Savages!

Sure why not.
Also has super cool aps that apple hates.

just say yes to Android
it's slimmer than the 3GS in the side-by-side comparisons
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Like the guy in the $3000 suit is going to move my hand up to my face to talk on the phone?
Come on!
that's a start, I guess
I think I'm spoiled by the ultra thin nokia I had recently
Or are we dannnceerrrrrrrr

Mainly because it clubs once you turn it up you can actually hear people.
The rest of the time I have it pretty quiet.

The 3GS is still pretty slow in comparison to other smartphones out there.

might have to switch and get one of these
looks pretty sexy
wouldn't surprise me in the slightest
... no it isn't.
With the exception of the two or three newest Androids coming out its one of the best spec'd phones on the market.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
The 3GS while faster than the 3G still isn't that fast.
