From what I understand, it's "not bad". I banged out a WEP key on one which I was able to do pretty quickly. But basic puncuation is missing from the standard keypad. So you basically have three different pads to scroll through. Letters, numbers, and symbols.
I also have heard complaints about the landscape keyboard. It only appears sideways when you are in Safari. For everything else, you hand to hold it right side up to have the keyboard appear.
I too like the keyboard on the 6700. But ... it adds so much to it's size. I tried to wear it on my hip for a week in the sideways hip-clip holster, but I kept smashing into stuff. It's like walking around with a TRS-80 strapped to your hip. Now, I slip it into my pocket, and walk around with rectangular erection instead.
On the battery ... from what I was reading you can get 8 hours of TALK time on a single charge. WOW!! Well over 24 hours of off and on use.
