I’m actually slower in landscape, skinny digits or something I guess.

keyboard, i LOVED my sidekick 3, but tmobile is not bareable, worse service ever. Cricket, before they went nationwide, made tmobile look worse than boost.

ive got crickets qwerty blackberry rip off thing, i love it to bits, its light, and works well.

touch screan + OCD = no bueno, i fucking hate fingerprints on my screen, couldnt deal with it on purpose. the ifone is cool and all that, i guess, biut typing on it was pitiful unless you have little girl hands.

Apple will allow it. It will need to be an App Store Application so it would need to run on its own instead of replace the default keyboard. There is a few note taking apps that use this similar functionality. Would be a sweet complete replacement if they make it a Cydia app tho.
