I would say the one negative I have against the iPhone is the current touch keyboard setup ....

Now researchers are using tiny vibrations to imitate the feel of a button when a user touches the keypad. The user will be able to feel the edges of each key so will be able to identify where each key is without checking visually.

Researcher Eve Hoggan, from the University of Glasgow’s Department of Computing Science, said: “We found that, compared to a standard keyboard, touchscreen keypads were less accurate in terms of text input. Without being able to identify through touch when a key had been selected there was a significant increase in errors made. 

......

By providing tactile feedback we will bring the iPhone keypad close to the performance of a real physical keyboard.”

I realized how great it was the other day when I bricked my iPhone and had to spend the day typing on my old phone... It was awful!
