^ You would have given up your BB for a droid? Traitor!!! (j/k )

The big Q is would you give up your BB for a phone with a virtual KB instead?

BTW, your 2d post doesn't show anything.

don't you get used to it after a couple of weeks?

I'm thinking all these people got used to the iPhone KB so it couldn't be all that bad ?

The iPhone virtual KB does look easier to adapt to than the Android stock KB, at least to me, but I guess that's what apps are for ?

Id have to totally agree, I have never gotten use to touch screen. I have the eng touch which I got specifically for the touch screen but also the physical keyboarding which for me is a requirement of any phone I want, I tried both the iPhone in the stores and my friends, and I still don't like virtual keyboards 100% on any phone

Ditto. Coming from more than a decade of Palm use, which required hunting for tiny keys with a stylus or hand writing one jacked up "Graffiti" letter at a time, the finger-usable on-screen keyboard and the trainable on-the-fly spelling correction of the iPhone are most welcome changes.

Also, the less moving parts a device has (such as a flip out keyboard, like on the G1) the less likely that something can break, and the less likely it will permanently steal valuable screen real estate (like a BlackBerry).
