Interesting that they relate this problem with quality of the screen and the way it processes commands, something I never really thought about until I read in the article the quote <em>"quick keyboard use and light flicks on the screen really push the limits of the touch panel's ability to sense."</em> It just brings home the reality of just how advanced the iPhone truly is. Not that this little detail would deter me from buying one of the other phones if I really had a problem with AT&T. I have a couple co-workers that have Droids and I like the form factor, however I'm quite happy with my iPhone and it's advantages (multi-touch for one). Always good to have competition though, just makes everyone better. Oh, you can read the test results <a href="http://labs.moto.com/diy-touchscreen-analysis/" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>
