5. How long did it take you to get used to the on-screen keyboard?

1. In my experience the lag was mainly from switching to landscape to pull out the keyboard. it's fairly instant to reply on this.. (1-2 seconds?)
2. It comes with OZ Messenger which looks pretty decent, but it doesn't support Google chat - so I'm not using it for now.. It has a big warning at the beginning saying that you would need a data plan as well as a "messaging" plan - not sure what that is and sprint didn't when I called either..
3. I haven't used touchpal - but the 20key on here allows for abc input (i.e. as key - press once for a, twice for s), or t9 similar input (i.e. press ui as for 'is' ) - seems to work pretty well.. and it makes it so that you can type fast even in the abc input (as the delay before recognizing the key is very short..) I still prefer pcmkeyboard though as I'm personally faster on it.
4. bleh.. it's ok.. I'm using slingmobile so no reason for it.. I did a quick test w/ cnn though and it was fast enough.. (took ~5 seconds to start the picture and picture was 'ok' - nothing to write home about..)
5. I started getting used to pcmkeyboard last week in anticipation of getting the touch this week - sticking to it.. so far, so good and I don't really miss the hardware keyboard that much.
