Here is another thing I found when buying the touch. Most of the sales people in two or three different stores also steered me away from the touch. Here is my theory on this... All of the ones who told me i didn't want the Touch had been using some kind of pda or a phone that had an actual keyboard. When the Touch came out and they played with it for a while, they were so used to having a full qwerty, tactile, positive response keyboard that they hated using the Touch.

You will find many posts here about various types of keyboards and I'm sure you will find one you are comfortable with. Myself, this was my first pda phone so i was very used to using XT9 for typing/texting and this actually works quite well on the Touch and also gives the largest keys while in this mode.

Hope that helps
