Well, it's been about a week and a half, and I think I'm faster on the iPhone keypad than I ever was on the E70 or the Treo. We all know about the drawbacks of not having keys you can feel, but I've found that there's an unexpected benefit: you don't have to apply any pressure to said keys. Once my thumbs got used to where the keys were, I started just brushing the screen for every character. The auto-correction takes care of the mis-touches.
This is not to say that I don't accidentally mistype words, or that the auto-correction always works. I still frequently use the backspace key. But I did that even with a physical keypad.
So the virtual keypad really is a non-issue for me. I find myself quite enjoying it. It really does need text selection, though.
