iPhone Touch Typing: Day 1 [Video]
FTA: "OK, it's just Day 1. Whether I turn out to be a Mossberg (typing is "a nonissue") or a Levy ("Maybe I'm a spaz") remains to be seen, but on my very first outing it took me a while just to type a simple text message.

Apple: Two iPhones per person
Apple's not being stingy like AT&T... okay, maybe not as stingy. But according to a new announcement this morning, the company said that it will limit people's purchases of the iPhone to two per person on launch day, not just one. As expected, they are first come, first served.
