[IxDA Discuss] iPhone - review

[Won Sun Parque]

Has anyone found the following two iPhone input UI issues
troublesome?

1. When iPhone suggests a word to you while you type, to accept it,
you need to press the space bar, which I understand if someone wants
to just keep typing and keep their fingers on the keyboard area. But
to me, I keep having the urge to move my finger up to press the
suggested word itself to accept it. Kind of like. "Oh yeh, that's
the word I want.", and touch! But then, BOOM, the word is gone....
Turns out, if you touch the word that you want, it means cancel! 
 
2. The keys [Enter] and [Backspace] are placed right next to each
other vertically. It happens a lot that when I want to press
[Backspace], I ended up hitting [Enter] instead. This is really
annoying when typing on a Web Form. Instead of correcting a mis-type
letter (Which happens A LOT using iPhone's keyboard), the entire Web
Form is submitted by the mis-typed [Enter] key.
 
I love my iPhone, don't get me wrong, but these two issues are
really annoying. :(
