Yep, I just had to try it since it runs a full browser. Using the on-screen keyboard certainly works, but it’s cumbersome at best. Adding Bluetooth support for an external keyboard would be nice, but without a stand for the phone it would be awkward. This exercise really shows the glaring omission of a basic cut and paste feature as well. That ought to explain why there’s no links in the post; manually typing a lenghty URL isn’t something I’d enjoy on a regular basis. Oh, and that lack of an easily accessible file system puts the kabosh on any images, at least on TypePad, which is what we use here. Luckily, I also have my UMPC so I went in and added the pic. Otherwise, the post was created entirely on the iPhone. I wouldn’t have thought to try this on a Windows Mobile or Nokia device simply because the screens aren’t big enough and it would be a challenge without a QWERTY keyboard of some type. It’s not an optimal blogging tool, but is good in a pinch!
