This better not be as bad as the "feature" in android. I hate it there, because if I accidentally hit any random group of numbers, no matter how long the group is, Android says "oh, that's a phone number", and opens up the dialer and sticks the number in. Annoying as hell.

What about the tiny Island country in Western Europe... You Americans always get the cool features while us UK people sit here and watch you all get bored of using it before we get too! :haha:
