Now I'm debating myself. It would appear I could probably type faster, and all things considered, I probably used the keyboard "rarely" on my PPC6700. A keyboard is way nice to have, but only because it was the fastest and most reliable way to get text entered. The softkeys on iPhone and Winmo gave me wrong letters too often to be able to get any speed going.

WOW gotta admit that thats pretty cool . BUT theres no way that thats faster than a physical keyboard or even an on-screen keyboard. its a great thing to show off to friends as a novelty at best. i dont see myself swiping at letters to form words and having that be faster. most ppl that are use to texting on a device with a physical keyboard are speed deamons and multi taskers.. its a good try but no practical

I agree with you 100%. At first I was like damn, thats pretty cool but its actually pretty slow compared to how I use my keyboard on my mogul. There is no way someone would be able to out type me using that thing.
