I've been using swype for the past few days and I must say I'm impressed. But would I drop my physical keyboard for swype? Absolutely not. I average 3K text a month and email frequently on my phone. I don't care how big the keys are or how good the auto correction/prediction is, you still can't beat a physical keyboard.

I guess if you use it enough, you get pretty good at using the on screen keyboard but I will always prefer a phone with a keyboard than without. Someone said earlier that HTC is moving away from Hardware KB's. I say thank goodness cause they absolutely suck at it. I went through 3 Touch Pro's in less than a year and I wasn't the only one. People hate on how the moment keyboard looks but I could care less. I'll go for functionality in the regard. It's not like you gotta look at it all the time, only when you need to send a message quickly. And just because Apple sent the standard with the Iphone doesn't mean everyone should follow suit and drop the keyboard. There are still users who would rather have a physical keyboard.

Personally, I'm staying away from HTC phones period. Their quality control seems to suck and their only real concern is releasing a new phone, not making a quality product. People pay $300+ for these phones and there always seems to be something with HTC. Granted every phone has a few quirks but to each his own. I've had zero problems with my moment (hardware wise) and I can live with that.
