For BlackBerry users bowing to their fate, Palmer has a primer on how to use the iPhone 5 whenever it finally arrives and whatever it actually looks like.

His helpful tips include accepting the fact that iPhone's "virtual keyboard actually becomes an asset eventually." As in "eventually our solar system's sun will go super-nova and incinerate the Earth." But it's a well-intended tip, because BlackBerry users "do tend to take longer to get used to typing on an iPhone than even someone who's never previously used a smartphone," Palmer writes. Your BlackBerry is actually rendering you unfit for multi-gesture screen interfaces.

"Stick with it, however, and you'll find that not only does it become fully normal, there are also bonuses ..." Palmer writes reassuringly. Like auto-correction of frequent typos and the "magically" added ".com" button for typing Web addresses.

Another tip: The new iPhone will have "even more screen real estate" than the current 3.5-inch model. So make the most of it with "some high quality games, and some HD video content." But, another tip: "Don't go crazy, however, with paid apps right out of the gate," Palmer advises, sensibly. "Until you figure out how you want to put your new iPhone 5 toy to use, no need to overspend on 'cool' apps you may have no use for. There are plenty of free apps in the App Store to tide you over while you figure out what you really want to do with your new toy."
