Please convince me to get an iphone!

I really want to get an Iphone.  Serious.  It’s cool, sleek, provides the web at my fingertips, and is the ultimate all-in-one device.

I’ve been reading all these articles recently praising the new 3g iphone.  But I keep looking in vain for the things that really matter to me.  Maybe I’m too simple minded, but what I really care about is:

1. Does email and calendaring work seamlessly?

2. Can I type quickly and accurately?

3. Can I live with just one device in my pocket?

From what I can tell, the new iphone, with all the new functionality and speed still does not deliver on these.  I don’t think text input has been improved significantly.  Every time I play with an iphone in an Apple store, I keep hoping that a light turn on in my brain and I’ll figure out how to use the keyboard properly.  But those dreams are always crushed and I walk away a little more depressed than when I came in.

I think Apple may be able to make email and calendaring work seamlessly.  But I think the proof is in the pudding.  Given my skepticism about text input, email and scheduling needs to be really really good for me to consider a purchase.  And unless email, calendaring, and text input work, I don’t see how I can possibly give up my Blackberry.

Iphone fans… what’s the answer?    Do I need to invest more time into learning the nuances of the iphone’s functionality?  Will the new iphone solve all my problems?  Are all the other benefits so overwhelming that they make my top 3 priorities less important?  Or do I just have to give up my dream of a single device for business and personal use?
