Oh man...I borrowed 2 phones last night, an N8 and an iPhone4, *just* to test out onscreen keyboards (again) and I hate them. I just can't do it, it's like I'm ******ed or something. My big fat thumbs don't help, but the fact that I'm not actually pressing buttons means I make loads of mistakes and keep having to hit the delete button. Compared with sending texts/emails/writing docs on my N900, the 2 different vkbs (for me) were useless.

So with the N9 not having a hw kb, I just have to sadly ook on, like an ex-runner watching an awesome race from the sideline on crutches.

I really wanted to think that the N9 would have some 'magic' on the vkb, but as far as I can tell (jakiman) it's just the same as an iPhone one.

Oh well. *sigh* Come along, N900. Let's write some emails. Quickly.
