Ahhh, the age-old argument! I'm due for an upgrade, and
have been using a Droid X. However, my fat fingers cannot
deal with the on-screen typing. I tried a Droid 3 (slide
out keyboard) but it just doesn't feel "solid," and there
are other issues I'm not happy with.

The iphone has a smaller screen, and thus a smaller on screen
keyboard that the droid x

90% of my phone use is talk, email and text. With that in
mind, should I make the switch to iPhone? Your thoughts
would be greatly appreciated.

I hear lots of people complain that the iPhone is a great camera
or personal information manager that runs apps and is sometimes an OK
phone.

Good point. I switched from Blackberry to iPhone4 and found that call quality is definitely better on Blackberry (at least in my area). My daughter made similar switch, except to newer iPhone4S (which supposedly improved call quality with dual antenna), and feels BB call quality is still better. She does, btw, love the SIRI feature on iPhone 4S. Others may have different results, so check it out.

As far as keyboards go, it's up to the user. iPhone phone numbers are super-easy to type (way easier than BB), but some of the other touch screen typing (those few where you can not turn the phone to landscape) can be difficult for "fat fingers". The small keys on a BB were actually pretty easy to get used to.

There are so many other features to iPhone and Droid phones, that you probably should to to a store for a test drive of various models. Good luck.
