Well I have uses Nokia's hardware keyboard's and to be honest they suck the only time of I have seen Nokia get it right was with there eseries and cseries devices. The Nokia n97 had a horrible keyboard, the Nokia n810 had a decent keyboard, and Nokia n900 had horrible keyboard that is better than the ones found on the Motorola Droid and Nokia n97.

I seem to agree with you on keyboards pretty much. I used to use the N810's virtual keyboard pretty often, and I liked the N800's virtual keyboard ok.
I was not using the lack of the hardware keyboard as a club to beat the Archos with, as you appeared to assume. I was thinking to myself, "If I buy this, will I like the keyboard?" I hope it's ok with you for me to think those thoughts. This does not make me a slavish member of the Maemo community.

Well the Android virtual keyboard is pretty good I have no problems with it certainly better than the Nokia n900 virtual keyboard and I have tried the keyboard. Sorry I 'm just getting annoyed with people here constantly mentioning the physical keyboard. Well many Nokia devices didn't have keyboards the Nokia 5800, n800, 770, x6, and n8 all lack physical keyboards.

It's just not a who's-better or what's-better kind of issue. Some users really want a hardware keyboard, some don't.

Seriously why is it whenever there's a competitors with better specs and better price the Maemo community's only argument against it is having a hardware keyboard. Seriously not every device is going to have a hardware keyboard. It kinda reminds me of iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch owners whenever theres a better device that comes they always give oh my idevice it has more apps in its appstore b.s.

I was very happy without a hardware keyboard on my N800. People talked about having "full access" to their screens -- it never seemed like that much of a problem to me -- when I wanted full access I just closed the virtual keyboard.
But the N900 virtual keyboard just seems useless to me -- I hate it. I would LOVE a virtual keyboard that seems to be right for me. The Opera keyboard, for example, seems nice.
