It seemed VERY slow to me. I use gesture input as pretty much my only input, as I use a Fingerworks Touchstream keyboard. I can't tell you how much I love gestures. The keyboard was pricey in it's day, and has only gone up in value since Apple bought the company. I wish they'd DO something with it now. The whole 2 finger scroll, and thi iPhone don't show off ANY of the keyboard's features. The only thing I see overall in the gesture interface is it’s price. It seemed VERY slow to me.
