How was the lighting and the size of the numbers/letters? Did the
lighting turn off pretty quickly the way it does on most cell phones
I've used?

Well, I finally went down to the Apple store to check it out. Of
course the
place was packed. They had about 30 iPhones there people could play
with.
Some observations:
- Most definitely 'perfectly sized' form factor. Beautiful finish.
- Software and interface extremely intuitive. All of it works well
(except Map*)
- When operating it, there really is a WOW factor. It really is
beautiful software. Reminds me of a futuristic demonstration
video prepared
by Hollywood.
- Very surprised at the data rate. I was able to see YouTube vids
quickly. The browser seemed a little slow, but not bad. Not until
later when
Chris reminded me I was on a WAN did I realize it. I imagine the
Edge
network would be slow. If it's like the Sidekick, it's too slow
to really
surf the net.
- Tried using the Map application, but it kept crashing. The two
finger 'zoom in' and 'zoom out', while cool, is very confusing to
the Map
application. Much better would be a zoom slider switch you could
drag with
one finger.
- Absolutely could not type on the keyboard. Very difficult. Perhaps
my fingers are too large. Where's the stylus when you need one?
(Side note:
there WILL be a huge market in 3rd party styluses for this
thing.) My guess
is they'll have to fix the keyboard input. AFAICT, it's just not
usable.
I know I'll wait for them to get the kinks out.
