These sites aren't necessary, even now. They are sometimes amusing, but not necessary. The only reason they didn't happen before is (IMO) that until damnyouautocorrect, no one really thought of doing them.

I've an iPhone for personal use and a Blackberry Torch 9860. The iphone automatically corrects the word as soon as you press space whereas on the blackberry you have to press the corrected word - pressing space accepts what you have typed. So if you send a text not really paying attention on a blackberry the worst you can get is spelling errors on the iphone you could get all sort of random words!
That said I do think most of the ones on damnyouautocorrect are fake.
