Well, I know an extra 3cm isn't going to fit in any of mypockets, so, no, this isn't a workable solution.

I disagree, it works quite well (helps to type with the tips/nails of your thumbs). I get around 20-50wpm using it (I just did a semi-scientific test with 3 sessions of one minute in length to estimate WPM and achieved an average of 43wpm), which is four times more than your "10 words per minute" and more than acceptable for a keyboard on a mobile device (and not really that much different than I've achieved with hardware thumbboards on other devices).

I'm very happy with the thumbboard on the N800, and wouldn't consider trading off anything for a hardware keyboard.
