I can type pretty fast on the iPhone, but to be fair I am marginally more likely to type gibberish whilst using the iPhone than on a laptop...
See i thought i would need my 30 gig creative when i got my MBP aug 08 and iPod Nano, but i ended up being able to use my 8 gig ipod on the go, and then would be at my destination so i could use my laptop for more serious music stuff lol.. so i sold my Creative to my mate for a coupla bob and i 've not had any problems since. Im not to sure what im gonna do when i get the iphone, i might keep my ipod as a removable disk
Nobody is going to do 1 hour of calculating on a non-QWERTY phone, but this is quite doable on the iPhone.
if you like to climb mountains or going btt etc don't take your iphone as a gps.
take a garmin extrex instead - its better at handling and almost crash-proof

I'm trying really hard to figure out how it replaces a check book. You got me there. Does it print checks out? I didn't know it had a printer?
A lever.
I just wish it could replace my wallet so I don't have to carry cash, driver license, and the various credit cards.

haha at the person saying they can type 70wpm on their iphone. i type 100wpm on a keyboard and would be lucky to hit 20 on an iphone.
I think it is possible to do maybe 40-50 wpm on the iPhone if you really can get the autocorrect down. But PERFECT typing with no need for autocorrect would be extremely impressive.
The iPhone replaces an iPod, camera, compass, GPS, game handheld, and emergency wi-fi (or random fact checker)....but I still need my macbook for leisurely surfing (or responding to 5-10 posts a day on macrumors).

For me, my iPhone replaces:
Phone
iPod
GPS (once TomTom is out)
In addition, it gives me a lot of functionality I wouldn't otherwise carry around:
Check email
Check things on the internet
Have the ability to take decent snapshots without carrying another camera
Have the ability to take decent videos without carrying another camera
It's a great device and easy to justify the cost IMO. But it doesn't replace my laptop, DSLR, HD Camcorder...
