Now he was talking to my buddy who is a man with large hands and I'm a woman but... is this just overkill for his personal preference? or is it really that irritating to try using the on screen keyboard?

To each their own. I've seen some youtube videos and some reviews of the on screen keyboards of the Diamond and it looks easy enough to use.

I also read that someone who got to see a developmental version of the phone said that it had haptic feedback that you could enable and it was easy to use with a small vibrate for each button you push... it provided enough tactile feedback to make it comfortable to use for him.

Your mileage may vary. YMMV.
