Everyone keeps saying the the keyboard is so horrible etc. I bought this phone yesterday, and after 4-5 hours of constant use I'm now pretty much typing faster with the keyboard than I ever did on my 5800. Maybe not as fast as a normal alpha-numeric phone, but still pretty fast.


Anyone agree, disagree?

i agree, the keyboard actually seems better to use than the one on my N810, which is sigtnificantly quicker - once you learn the keymap you can type reasonably fast.

I find it very good. In Vim, where I have defined quite a lot of abbreviations, I can type 50+ words per minute, which is more than enough for me.

I haven't really heard complaints about N900 keyboard from the users.
I prefer the spacebar placing on the N900 and most of all keys got great tactile feedback. Lack of it can kill 5 row keyboard that got everything else right(problem with Droid and N97 i have tested).

The keyboard has been fine for the most part. The only problem is when I have to use alternate functions on keys (eg. the numbers). Otherwise it is fine. Although I can't find a better phone keyboard than the Blackberry Bold's, but that wouldn't fit in this form factor.

once you get use to it ... its not so bad ... it feels like the htc touch pro (first one) i find that the way the space bar is located is awesome to me lol most people are annoyed by it ... but i don't know why it it works great for me ... like im natural at using it

Well, I can agree with you on that slender, but double tap fn key helps alot.
