The keyboard I propose would be a thumb keyboard. In the same size range as the freedom input "slim" keyboard (about the size of a credit card), or the qwerty keyboards you find on a cell phone (the sidekick or MDA, for example).

The advantage over the onscreen keyboard is: you don't take up screen real-estate with it, so you can see the actual thing you're typing in to while you type (unlike the full-screen finger keyboard on the N800).
