Anybody put some scratches on the back yet? I remember the old plastic ipods you only had to look at them and they would be scratched, because the plastic was so soft.

I think they are pretty good, this time around.
I haven't intentionally tried to scratch it though. It's not even a day old yet.  |

I also think the plastic will be more scratch resistant than in the past. I've heard that the Apple logo scratches easily, though.

I'm usually pretty diligent when it comes to keeping my Apple stuff scratch free, but I'm wondering whether to care or not about scratches on my iPhone. Could go to the trouble of an Invisible Shield.... but honestly can't be bothered. And besides, since it will be going everywhere with me, I think I'd rather get a case to protect it from drops than scratches. Anyone else going to bother with cases, screen protectors, etc?

There was a thread on this, about protection (not the sexual kind).
I'm going solo. No screen filters or sleeves or cases... bare back, if you will. |

Eww. Now I feel dirty :P
I'll do a search then 'cause I'm interested now (no your sexual comments did not spark my interest :P ). |

Typing? Just type and don't worry about being correct, and it will just kinda flow.
once you have the hang of it its really quite fast.
Its just that learning curve to learn to trust the phone rather than to fight it. Its spell correction technology is brilliant.

Update: Speaker volume
Seems better than I expected.
Watched some TV shows, Apple tips, video podcasts last night - and then even as a test went to sleep listening to music (to test the timer / sleep option).
Used the speaker for all the above.
Certainly alot better than my old Sony Ericcson!

Love that 2.0 has video in podcasts and it works from their rather than having to go into video App.
Silent switch is excellent. Every phone needs one.
Audio seems really good for handsfree and watching things without headphones.
Apps rock. Just decided to go with Starmap for my astronomy program. Really want the TomTom app and a car charger/stand.

I wouldn't say hot, but definitely very warm. Perhaps boderline 'hot' using the maps application. I wonder if our iPhones will burn out before our 24 month contracts are up :P.

I agree, not that this is fast compared to typing on a real keyboard I can manage 30 WPM with the predictive text and correction features.
Typing web addresses or contact names, or passwords is a little harder though  .

I tried and failed twice to enter my 20 random character wifi password. Had to get my wife to type it with her skinny fingers.
But for ordinary typing, the corrections are awesome. A few times I have got every letter wrong and it still guessed right. |

passwords are annoying since I will consistently hit the wrong keys, but with autocorrect that doesn't matter. With passwords you really have to check each letter as you type them. Since it only shows the last character typed and sometimes rapidly fire off two keys at once, password entry quickly becomes an exercise in frustration.
