As it turned out, I seldom used it and have fully adapted to the onscreen variety. I’ve also come to realize that I prefer portrait over landscape mode for most everything (probably a vestige of my Treo habit). For me, there are two additional stumbling blocks to the physical keyboard, at least in this design. One is the extra step involved in opening it. The other is the key spacing seems to slow my typing and doesn’t really improve its accuracy. As you always point out though, choice is good. For me I prefer the choice of putting money into a faster processor or better camera rather than a physical keyboard.
