One thing for sure, you don't need to run memory managers on the touch :P

P.S. kidding aside, after my first impression coming from a "multi hardware button keyboarded device" to the Touch was that I was missing and needed at least the left/right soft-keys and the ok button, usually included in most of HTC devices.
This Ted Baker Needle design would have been nice, the Send and End on ours are tiny.
Scroll wheel/ball are functional. TouchFlo doesn't work like you think it should as a replacement for scrolling. You just wind up touching the edges for scrolling instead. On the other hand Opera's scrolling works like one would think it should work, if that makes sense.
It's just something I got used to and it was slight a learning curve. Less than a week, that no longer mattered. Since the Touch's screen is flush you can actually just use the on screen buttons.. like you're supposed too.. wow what a concept! On other devices this was not as simple since stuff on the edges wasn't as easily accessible.
Now as for the keyboard, I tried SPB full keyboard, which was cool but just too big and you can't see where you type.
The Touch 12 and 20 keyboards act weird and aren't working well for me at times. The 40 key Touch keyboard buttons are just too small to type on.
IMHO, PCM Keyboard with iphone layout/skin and/or the Resco Keyboard with iphone skin/layout are a breeze and an eze to type just about anything on (if they don't act funny, I am thinking the other keyboard installs might have something to do with this and I am gonna either wipe out the others and try again or hard reset and just install PCM with the layout/skins.
TouchPal just doesn't work right for me, why doesn't the enter key enter? When I hold down the key why doesn't it display use the other 2-3-4 characters on the keys? I think it's just me having to take the time to learn how to use it, but it's not easy or intuitive enough for me, quite a hassle really, concept is interesting though..
hope that helps.
