Everyone still having success with text input ? I have tried a few free keyboard apps and feel the 1 that comes with the phone is laid out the best for my typing . Thick buttons app isn't that bad but I'm still screwing up like crazy .. getting used to shifting over for numbers is annoying still .. long press comes in handy at times but when its a string with a large mix of characters its annoying. Not complaining, just reporting take on it .. today I play some more to see how it goes
You should try the mod of the HTC keyboard here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416

You can change the popup delay (long press) to a shorter delay to make it faster. Default is 750ms, but I have mine at 275ms. You can change the spacing of the keys to make them appear smaller (may help you be more precise). Doesn't have the arrow buttons, but there is an option to use the volume rocker to move the cursor back and forward. There are tons of other customizations as well.
