Auto-correct on the iPhone is a killer. No excuse, I know, but the Blackberry software would default the keyed characters, and suggest corrections before posting, much akin to an F7 spell check; whereas iOS defaults the suggested correction, necessitating user intervention to prevent arbitrary edits. There are pros and cons--the most prominent pro point being that there is an obvious hurdle to overcome due to having no tactile feedback from your input peripheral.
