As far as the iPhone in France, I hope, I hope that there will be options as to what language I can use it in and be able to select the virtual keyboard. Living in France, I use english and french just about equally in my e-mails and communications. I grew up using a standard QWERTY keyboard, and I just haven't got used to the French AZERTY keyboard...
So the question will be: can I select english or french when using the adaptive spell checking keyboard? I don't want to spell "Merge" for "Merde" and vice-versa.
