The BlackBerry delete key is my favorite. Essential for email/txting devices. iPhone swipe+confirm is slower. Devices like the Virgin Mobile LG Rumor 2 that require three actions (options+Erase+confirm), are even worse. Never mind that on a BlackBerry you can easily shift-scroll-select multiple messages to delete as well (instead of having to swipe-confirm for *each* message). How do users of non-BlackBerry mobile-email-devices put up with all the extra swiping, clicking, various menus, confirmation boxes and cheesy animations that unnecessarily slow down their mobile experiences? Or is it just a matter of not having compared/contrasted them to/with more efficient interfaces? Update: For multiple messages on iOS (iPhone/iPodTouch/iPad), you can click the Edit button in the upper-right and tick off each message to select it, then click Delete (or Move) at the bottom (via @khit on Buzz^1). 1^http://www.google.com/buzz/109182513536739786206/8RzqVhxHmXP/The-BlackBerry-delete-key-is-my-favorite-Essential#1290979964894000
