It would be worth it for you to take a look, and many of your questions would be answered.Jobs did a demo where he showed the virtual keypad and typing emails, and he actually made several calls right there and the quality was pretty good from what I could hear.I'm not saying there won't be any issues with it when it comes out, but I think most of the criticism so far is unfounded. Wait till the thing is released, then critique. Did you see the Keynote in January MacWorld Expo where Jobs announced the iPhone?

You might need a hibernate setting if you are jogging with it. But if you are passively watching its screen as it sits on a table, it probably will 'sleep', to save battery.If you want to see the keypad in action, go back to the original demo video at the iphones macexpo introduction. A lot of context sensitvie pretyping going on.My main concern, almost no one has mentioned directly yet, is keepin that touch screen clean, and free of scraches. which are bound to happen. Or facial grease if you hold it up to your ear.Probably the biggest accessory sales at launch will be cases, and bluetooth earpieces.If GPS is not built in, it might be able to sync via bluetooth to a standalone GPS bluetooth gadget.

I'm guessing it will be iPod esque in that it just 'sleeps' and wakes from sleep most of the time, ensuring instant on and off.

It doesn't look sturdy, I don't believe their speed estimates and I surely don't need another piece of gadget gear to be broken because of my clumsiness.
