I'm looking for feedback from TP2 users about the hardware keyboard on the TP2. I will be going from TP to TP2 soon and wanted to know if the TP2's keyboard goes bad like on the TP. My keyboard does not work right now on the TP, and I am not paying 120 to get it replaced, rather just get a new phone, but if the TP2 has the same issues, I might not do the upgrade. Thanks for your time.

for me, at times the keyboard dont work but i slide it in then back out or X out of what im using then its ok(stock rom). also i have tendency to double tap keys idk how or why that happens but it happens but maybe that is just me

IMHO the tp2 hardware keyboard is the best I've ever used, my ONLY complaint is that if the screen is tilted all the way up then I cannot push the number keys, but then again I never tilt the screen up all the way anyways that just feels awkward to me. So I guess that's not really a complaint rather than an observation

I've had the Verizon TP2 since early September. No warranty replacements yet. Keyboard (and phone) still going strong. Actually, I'm quite surprised how long this TP2 has lasted.

I also went from the TP to the TP2 because of keyboard issues on my Touch Pro, and I can say that the TP2 is by far, much better. I have had no issues at all with the TP2, when with the TP my keyboard would rarely work. The actual keyboard takes a little bit to get used to when moving from the TP but it is so worth it, the keyboard on the TP2 is much better once you get used to it. There are a few keys missing, that you'll probably miss, at first. But once you start using the keyboard on the TP2 you'll love it.

Love the TP2 keyboard. It will take a couple days to get used to the new layout after switching from TP.

My only complaint is that sometimes the keys feel like they are floating over the buttons underneath. and you get this clicking sound.

I'll echo a common sentiment. Best mobile keyboard I've ever used. Period. A couple of annoyances...my "2" key is a bit harder to press than the others. This is an Ebay phone though, so maybe it was returned for that reason and that's how I got it cheap. Not a dealbreaker, though. Second...no control key - which is solved with the keyboard configurator. If you're coming from the TP it's like night and day. You won't be disappointed.
