Has anyone released a SIP keyboard for it yet. I think that would make it a much more user friendly device

Ya, after having a TP, the keyboard on the Pre sucks. I'd love to tell you that you get used to it but I still haven't lol.

Yes there is now a virtual keyboard but it is more of a hack and although it is usable, it's not up to par with what you would find on even the original Touch. It is getting there though.

I had the TP for a year and the mogul before that and I can type just fine on my pre. I like that when my sausage finger hits another button it doesnt actually type that button, almost as if it knew I wanted to hit H and not K



I likes it.

I guess it's a matter of preference. I've had the entire progression from Apache to Mogul to Raphael, and I like the Pre keyboard better than all of them. I think the Raphael keyboard was ALMOST there, but I find myself using the Pre keyboard much more than I did with the Touch Pro. It seems that Palm put more thought in how i would actually type with it than HTC did, and even though it is smaller, that seems to make much more of a difference.
