Yeah IMO hardware keyboard is something either you need or you dont. I use putty to ssh to servers that I manage frequently, and email a lot off it so hardware keyboard is mandatory. I won a ipod touch 16gb and spent a great deal of time using it (while I had my mogul). I was able to get fairly proficient on the screen keyboard, and compared to the sometimes glitchy, sticky function key on my mogul it was equal. But now, with this TP2, it just feels right, I donno how many words per minute I'm doing, but I bet its twice as fast as on the ipod or mogul.
Thats just my 2 cents on the keyboard. BUT, If my usage requirements were different I'd probably stick to a "touch only" device.
