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.

So most people are interested in the Dual for the keyboard (hence the name, "Dual"). Any newer phone should be faster. So to make my point, instead of a "Dual" phone, just release an updated Touch that is faster.

Yeah I'm with you. The dual is where its at. It brings the best of both worlds together. The iphone style interface with the WM keyboard and applications. Hopefully Sprint picks it up but, I know how they operate. They just picked up the Touch and sprint is a faithful girlfriend, it usually takes them about a year and a half before they upgrade their devices. So I'm just gonna wish on a falling star.
