This is interesting. I am getting the idea that all of the TP's with keyboard problems are of the Sprint design? I myself have a VZW model, and have always been a little steamed that I have a handicapped model and thus have to deal with it's slowness, and lack of ram, (I do have custom rom with adjusted pagepool, which does seem to help some of the speed issues) but am thinking that maybe it is an acceptable trade for what you Sprint people have to put up with. Please correct me if I am wrong. Are there any of the Verizon TP's with this same keyboard issue? (I have had mine for 5 months now with not a single hardware issue)
