Typing: I've been on iPhone since the release (I know, poor me the $100 beta tester). The typing is totally personal preference. I didn't like it at first, I love it now and can smoke any BB typer, just like any halfway seasoned iPhone user.

I'd like to reinforce what a couple people have already mentioned..

** Do not be fooled by the $199 iPhone2 pricetag**

You'll pay more for data, you'll pay an annual fee to take advantage of their new push system. Great upfront cost, not so great backend costs. Easily makes the BOLD competitive at a higher price.

What I'm not excited for is losing my huge screen and amazing web browsing experience. Even if the BOLD has a good browser, it still won't be able to touch the browsing experience of the iPhone. That's not even up for debate :p

My only reason for switching to the Bold is PIN messaging, as I need it for work. There's no way to use PIN on other phones is there?
