From what I can tell, the hardware keyboard of the Milestone sucks, though it looks pretty nice on the first look: four rows and rather large keys. Yet typing of it felt kind of awkward everytime I tried this device out. Maybe it gets better once you are using it on a daily basis.

On another note: I don't know if I misread or not, but the Milestone 2 should be out in a couple of weeks. At least from the photos I've seen yet, the keyboard got a better shape and appears to be more user friendly.
