You and a host of other folks make a big deal about a physical keyboard. Me and many folks have thick fingers that make the tiny keyboards impractical. I have yet to use a mobile keyboard, whether on a smart phone, PDA or cell phone that my fingers don't find the neighboring keys. The virtual keyboard, whether it is on a BB Storm or iPhone, seems to have more room for my fingers. The type ahead feature can be bothersome and a keyboard takes getting used to, but once mastered is far easier than a cramped physical keyboard.
