After using the Touch for quite a while, I can safely say that I want a keyboard.
I can also say, that for the most part, I will just use the on-screen keyboard (PCMKeyboard--for me.)
For the Touch, the reason I'm not TOO fond of the on-screen, is because the phone is too slow for it... Keyboard responses are not fast enough... there is some sluggishness.
The iPhone is much, much better in terms of response...
Both phones suffer from not being able to read the damn screen when you are using the on-screen...
Why can't someone make a transparent on-screen keyboard? sheesh...
I have friends with Moguls, and it's a pain to pull the keyboard out and wait for the screen to rotate--especially when you could just pound out a sentence or two on the on-screen.
If I was writing a 10-page essay, I'd switch to the hardware keyboard--but then again, how often would you do that? That's what a full-sized PC is for...
If the Diamond had an SD slot, I'd be fairly tempted to pick one up. I might anyways, because I don't really store music on my SD card... I only have a 4GB in my Touch... all I use it for is storing ring tones, pictures, and background images for S2U2, (that randomly change.)
