Regular RIMarkable commentator Amish sent in an interesting email that I thought that I would publish…

I was just talking to a friend that is a die-hard Apple fanatic that made an astonishing revelation when I asked them how the like their iPhone 3G. They told me that that it sucks when it comes to text entry so they took it back will continue to use their BlackBerry 8830 until the Bold comes out.

Now, this particular friend probably would have gotten the BlackBerry Bold when released anyway because he is the type that carries once device for personal use and one for business, so, I was really shocked when he told me that he actually took his iPhone 3G back. He said that the iPhone is just too hard to type he he found that after the first couple of weeks that he had it he did little more than surf the web with it.

“I can already surf the web on my iPod Touch and it doesn’t cost me 80 bucks a month to do it. I’ll stick with the BlackBerry until they improve the virtual keyboard or put a real one on there. I would gladly give up screen size for a keyboard.”

It seems like I am hearing stories like this more and more…
