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.

Yes HTC did a bad job with the TP but the mogul had a good keyboard and the TP2 had the best keyboard of all time, so they're not that bad. My boy's moment keyboard never lights up or when it does it turns and its almost impossible to get it to turn on without sliding it closed then open again, but everyone's situation is different.
