The keyboard was excellent. Windows CE was about the worst operating<br>
system a mobile phone could have.<br>
<br>
When Android came up, I wanted a phone with a keyboard too. So I got<br>
the Motorola Milestone, again with a sliding keyboard. That keyboard<br>
was useless though. It required me using my finger nails for the keys<br>
to click.<br>
<br>
The next phone, and ever since, had no keyboards. I still hate using<br>
touchscreens the same way I hate GUIs for certain tasks (requires<br>
eye hand coordination, ...etc.)<br>
<br>
I don't use phones much though because of the tiny screen. I can't fathom<br>
how people can type all day long on them.<br>
