Touch Pro slide out keyboard
 

has anyone really needed the slide out keyboard? i used it alot with the mogul, but now i really don't need it except for typing this up. The full qwerty keypad works great. Does anyone know if the diamond is the same? If everything functions the same i don't mind a slimmer phone.

The reason I had the Mogul was for the slide out keyboard. I use my cellio ALOT for work. So typing IM's, text messages and emails from it would be a ***** without it!... IT'S NEEDED!!!

I agree coming from a mogul I used the keyboard extensively but with the addition of the new onscreen keyboards of the tp I use my hardware keyboard alot less still helps to have it for emails and long text convos so Im keeping it

True...I figured I'll still need it. I love this phone!

Well I wouldn't really say I need the keyboard, but comparing it with the Diamond, I NEED the memory expansion slot.

The keyboard will be very nice though for longer emails/txts.

the onscreen keyboard works great, but for extended typing i'll pull out the keyboard
and the SD slot was also a must-have for me

Ditto.

I think for 99.9% of us, if we bought the pro, we need the keyboard - no ifs, ands or buts. Otherwise we would have bought the diamond.

I like having the option for expandable memory, more rom for installed programs. Yes it's a thicker device than diamond but it fits better in my hands. I don't text much, just to the wife, But I like having the option for onscreen or pullout keyboard. For me the keyboard makes it a faster experience.

I too rarely use the kb now since using Touchpal for my Mogul. Which also works great on my TP. I was thinking about maybe I should just get the Diamond since it's slightly thinner. But having no micro SD slot would bother me. I will have an 8gb card going to waste.
