Good and bad.
– The iPhone has a feature long lacking in the iPod family – a hardware rocker switch for volume, so I don’t have to fumble with a touch wheel to fix volume.
– The contacts system is slick, feels good, and provides correct features and mostly intuitive access to them.
– Said slickness is marred somewhat by the occasional unresponsiveness of the system. One of the the consistent problems I have with zero-impact equipment (I’ve been familiar with multitouch since I bought a ZI keyboard when my hands were at their worst) is the lack of feedback. Sometimes, I touch a phone number and I can’t tell if I missed, it’s thinking, or just wasn’t paying attention. It happens often enough to be the annoying feature of the phone. Hazards of convergence, it occasionally is just doing too much.
