How have people been with a transition to a virtual keyboard from a hardware keyboard? Is it pretty annoying at first? I'm trying to use my virtual more and more, but I can type so much faster on my slide-out.
I am in the exact same situation as you; I use swype on my TP2 a lot trying to transition to a virtual KB, but tapping on the screen as my only means of text input makes me feel anxious for some reason. I've always had a hardware KB on every phone I've purchased. If swype comes to WP7 I think I would be more at ease.
From what I have heard from WP7 users that had the same concerns; the transition is seamless because of the quality of the virtual KB.
