I tell myself that since I do so much more reading than typing that it's okay. That big touch screen really is great. I can get a lot done in GMail, Google Reader, the Facebook app, and my Twitter client. Twitteriffic isn't scaling too well as my subscriptions are posting about once per minute now.

As much as I tell myself that the fake keyboard is OK I'm having to forego typing up any meaningful posts because it just takes so long to get things typed up. If someone sends me a comment or an email I'll generally wait until I can get to a PC so that I can write up a thoughtful response. I used a Blackberry years ago and I was able to type pretty well with it, so I imagine a phone like the G1 would be fine for me.<br><br>I haven't yet seen my ideal phone package though.

Had you made it, there would have been one more person standing - record turnout. Thanks for the additional awareness you contributed. The day before, I found myself in the marked for an iTouch in order to complete a project for a client. I wound-up spending $200 less and got the iPhone instead. Of course, I'll give back $240 to AT&T in about 3 months, but... I am really enjoying everything except the touchpad. I'm too used to being able to gain the tactile feedback of depressable buttons on my TREO. Consequently, I do a fair amount of typo correcting on the iPhone. <br><br>Hope the trip was great and I look forward to hearing more about the Geek dinner. We missed you at the breakfast.
