But it appears that if you have a YouTube account, you can't login to it via the iPhone. I'll have to check that more later.
The "virtual" keyboard seems to work really well. I thought it would be more of a pain than it is. I fat-fingered a few times, but it picked up most of what I typed correctly.
The iPod piece works just like in the commercials. You can scan the album covers to find the song you want to play.

A couple of my coworkers bought them Friday and we were messing around with them at the bars, very cool. Although I will say that I "fat-fingered" the virtual keyboard myself numerous times, and I don't have fat fingers. That was the only thing that struck me as a potential real drawback though (other than the battery stuff, I do love that the bberry can go Friday morning to Monday night for me if I forget my charger on a weekend trip), but it was also annoying enough that it made me think twice about the iPhone ever being a good alternative for work emailing. If you spend a lot of time emailing from your phone I could see the virtual keyboard making you crazy, but that could just be a habit/comfort level thing, maybe you get used to it.
I did really like the web browsing though, it really is a whole world above the equivalent on other phones. Like the difference between websites in the late 90s and websites today, very very cool.
