Did you ever try answering a question? Have you tried the keyboard? That is what my question was. I think the N900 non-hardware keyboard is lousy. Is the keyboard for the Archos better?
Well the Android virtual keyboard is pretty good I have no problems with it certainly better than the Nokia n900 virtual keyboard and I have tried the keyboard. Sorry I 'm just getting annoyed with people here constantly mentioning the physical keyboard. Well many Nokia devices didn't have keyboards the Nokia 5800, n800, 770, x6, and n8 all lack physical keyboards.

I seem to agree with you on keyboards pretty much. I used to use the N810's virtual keyboard pretty often, and I liked the N800's virtual keyboard ok.

I was not using the lack of the hardware keyboard as a club to beat the Archos with, as you appeared to assume. I was thinking to myself, "If I buy this, will I like the keyboard?" I hope it's ok with you for me to think those thoughts. This does not make me a slavish member of the Maemo community.

Oh, geneven, you're just looking to get punished everywhere you go! :)

Sorry for the misunderstanding. We cool :). I'm just tired of people mentioning that. Android does have a very good virtual keyboard.

It's just not a who's-better or what's-better kind of issue. Some users really want a hardware keyboard, some don't.

I was very happy without a hardware keyboard on my N800. People talked about having "full access" to their screens -- it never seemed like that much of a problem to me -- when I wanted full access I just closed the virtual keyboard.

But the N900 virtual keyboard just seems useless to me -- I hate it. I would LOVE a virtual keyboard that seems to be right for me. The Opera keyboard, for example, seems nice.

Not quite sure who you are directing that to or really what your point is - but to me a h/w keyboard IS part of the specs of a device that would be an N810 replacement for me. Of course 'not every device is going to have a hardware keyboard' so once again not sure what your point is. You do seem a tad defensive when it comes to this device though for some reason.

Android has an excellent virtual keyboard.
