Stayed with the iPhone(2 generations) till the Droid came out. Made the jump back to a physical keyboard and hated it! Granted it isn't the best keyboard to begin with. Thankfully the virtual keyboard was there.
Now with Swype (or other swipe keyboards) I could never use a physical keyboard, I think I'd get 'BB thumb' and lose about 100 WPM in speed :P
Just food for though, 'swipe' keyboards on a virtual keyboard are incredibly fast and accurate.
