Typing and typography
The iPhone is famous for its on-screen keyboard, a world away from the limited keyboard of a classic mobile phone like the Nokia N95.
I’m still getting used to the iPhone’s virtual QWERTY and my accuracy is improving, especially learning which part of my thumbs touch the keyboard.
iPhone also has decent typography. It displays a wide range of characters and many can be entered using the virtual keyboard.
While the N95 can display ‘curly’ quotes, they are ugly (see below). There is also no way to enter them using the phone. I care about such things.
