iPhone's keyboard is terrible. I can name 100 phones with better keypads, because they have QWERTYs with tactile responses.

I too have decent experience with plenty of notebooks and find the MBP to be lacking in many areas. Maybe I'm stupid?

The iPhone has a qwerty :/ I can type almost as fast as on my laptop using the iPhone...

I guess it's just a case of what you prefer.

I think you missed the "with tactile responses" part. Tactile feedback is very important to me when typing, because I type quickly, often without having to stare at the keyboard to aim my fingers.

it makes a clicking sound and zooms in on the key you press. I think that's pretty good. I find it a little harder to type on the iPhone when it's set to silent. I like to know when I've hit a key.

That still doesn't suit my need for tactile feedback (especially since it's not tactile -- it's audio).
