Is spell check a nice thing to have? Sure, I have used it before. But a "silly omission" ? hardly.
Whether you or I use a spellchecker has nothing to do with anything. For the record, I never use one; I don't misspell words. The person asked why a pretty common feature he was used to on his Blackberry isn't on this great new phone. As I said before, "you don't need it, learn to type" simply isn't an acceptable answer. A silly omission? Yes, absolutely, on a phone trying to compete at this level.

Again, we're looking at this from different points of view. To someone who DOES need a certain common tool and is asking "why isn't it there", I can hardly imagine a more irritating answer than "you don't need it anyway, learn to type". I think both of us are lucky enough not to work in sales, but any salesman would see the point immediately.
