-Not really. Maybe in some instances, but qwerty tactile is awesome.

Is a large screen better "in general" than a smaller one with qwerty?
-Yes, slightly.

Now what about a large screen with a PEN ?
-Yes, it's even better, no doubt.

Frankly a hardware keyboard wins every day of the week. Even my 10" Touchpad, with Hackers Keyboard isn't as nice to use as my N900. Just missing that tactileness ...

... however once you get used to it and are trustworthy of it, then it does end up quicker - especially with all the keys available onscreen with "Hackers Keyboard".

One items worth considering is:
