iPhone and texting & now tarrif questions

Hi all,

I do a lot of texting (upwards of 1000 per month!) and am liking the look of the iPhone (albeit jailbroken/unlocked with a better SIM in it!), but am a bit wary of how good/bad texting is with the touchscreen.

Obviously I'll be checking it out in the shops before I buy, but how are those of you with the iPhone finding it for lots of texting?

I had a chance to play with an iPod Touch today which belonged to a contractor we had in at work, and found the keyboard/interface very intuitive.

Emails/web all seem very well laid out, and his GF has the iPhone, and he says the text interface is just as good.

So, I'm very very tempted! I'm seriously considering getting the Simplicity 25 tarrif with 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited web for a total of £32.50 per month, rather than going for the standard iPhone tarrif, which will be £35 for 600m/500t/unlimited web.

Unless anyone else can suggest something better...?
