Re: Who here is waiting on the EVO v2 with a keyboard and better specs?

I've been big on the physical keyboard for a while. Once even had a physical keyboard that I hated because it was too flat and didn't give much feedback. Haptic feedback doesn't help because the surface is still flat and I cannot feel the buttons. Why is that important? Because not feeling the buttions forces you to look at the keyboard. Right now I can type without looking at my device occasionally glancing for spelling errors.

With bigger screens and swype not requiring much accuracy, perhaps I can train myself to be able to type without looking at my device again, but I'd have to agree with the idea that physical keyboards are on their way out in exchange for a thinner device. The Droid didn't have much of a keyboard and an add on such as that on the PS3 controllers doesn't seem like a bad idea for those who still want the keyboard.
