One of the big problems I have with the Phone is that I prefer to type in landscape mode at all times due to my chubby fingers. As a result, I always end up turning my iPhone sideways when responding to emails, only to find the phone doesn't turn with me. Apple has locked the email app to be portrait only.
Thankfully, a new iPhone application called TouchType fixes the problem. Open the application and you get a landscape mode keypad. type an email, hit the send button and it auto-populates the email application. Type in the email addresses and you’re all set.
Be advised that it does cost $.99, but if you have large fingers like me, it's worth every penny!

This makes me very happy. I've been hoping for something like this -- but the appstore is so chock-full of crap I can rarely summon up the gumption to sift through it for the good stuff. I am quite enjoying "Snatch" to control my mac-as-entertainment-center, though.
There are actually FOUR applications that can do this!
I’m the developer of Wide Email, one of the other apps, which has the extra feature of auto-saving the draft in case you get interrupted by a phone call or something. You don’t have to retype anything!
Here’s a list of all four:
