Re: At what point does one say "I need a real keyboard?"

Bear with me on this one, but I think we have to go into a little psychology here. The original poster seems to be a bit of a grammar junkie. It’s ok; I have my moments as well. That being said, the Mogul would be the way to go. For quick messages where I could care less about a missing period or semicolon, I’ll use my on-screen keyboard. When it comes to long, drawn-out conversations, I’ll pop the keyboard open and text away. The reasons why the physical keyboard makes it so much easier for these kinds of conversations are as follows:


1.) The keyboard is simply larger than anything that could EVER fit on the standard 2.8” HTC screen, meaning you can see more even with fingers obstructing your view of it
2.) It allows the use of multiple hands to switch off between the lower/upper case characters as well as access to the function key to select the symbols


Like other people on this thread, I'm coming from a Q as well. I really do miss the one-handed typing ability, but the physical keyboard and the availability of several great on-screen keyboards are what really make me love this phone. You just have to get over that freaking beveled edge...
