I am mesmerised by the speed blur at which kids on the buses thumb txt their friends.

I expect Lenovo will also provide a software on-screen keyboard (selectable QWERTY or Dvorak even).

So what will it be, the best of all worlds or a mashup that annoys everyone.
Well if you're a 'cool' kid you're using a touchscreen keyboard on an iPhone with predictive, corrective input and for most others I believe the consensus is that T9 is the way to go especially. If you have ever used the browser on a numeric keypad smartphone you will know how frustrating it is to type in http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/ by triple tapping

Case in point in Opera's new java mobile browser they have introduced history based url completion and sync with desktop opera bookmarks. This is plain silly IMHO, lenove should have implemented full qwerty hardware thumbboard or just had a touchscreen input. I do like their optical mouse it would be great if the camera on the N810 could do something similar.

In the same RH panel location the Raon Everun has a full qwerty keyboard, to be held in portrait mode.

Maybe one day there will be a shop that stocks everything so we can try out all these configurations.
