With the full screen keyboard, I push the camera button and it automatically comes up in landscape mode...at this point it is a mindless move to rotate the unit and start typing. its great. Why anyone wants a half-keyboard in hardware that adds size and weight is beyond me. Sprint needs to move forward in useability and the hardware keyboard is a big step backwards. If anything, they should make an OEM-level full screen keyboard like they have already, except bigger and in landscape mode, so you don't need to install the CAB file. It just comes with the phone. Come on Sprint/HTC! Can't you guys think for of this for yourselves? Love my Touch now that I have the full screen keyboard. It works great, the auto fill works really well. It learns from my typing style and picks up slang, etc. No complaints except that it doesn't work with PHPBB sites for some reason...

but in that rare occasion, I just use the regular keybaord options.
