One of my (and I think everyone elses) primary concerns was the on screen keyboard. I have to say tfat (that) even after only a few hours my co verbs (concerns) have pretty much vanished. I was never a major speed demon on the Treo keyboard but I’m already typing just as dash (fast) on the iPhone keyboard as quickly as I type on the Treo. The key I think is to just place your faith in the auto-correction feature of the soft keyboard. The Treo also makes an attempt at correcting things as you type but the algorithm is nowhere near as smart as Apples.
One thing that is supposed to be used in Apples algorithm is a reduction in the error rate by eliminating errors such as thw instead of the however I’ve had a few times where it doesn’t seem to have been tripped. I think part of the trick is again to just go with the flow because part of the input to the prediction algorithm is the speed of entry so if you pause in the middle of a word it can confuse the algorithm.
(EDIT - the words in parenthesis in the first paragraph were added after a proof read on my PC. I couldn’t proofread on the iPhone and correct these undetected mistakes from the iPhone since I couldn’t get it to scroll the text entry box in the WordPress write a post page).
