Do you use physical keyboard?

[redjr]

Not very often - it all depends upon how much text I need to enter. If it's just a few key strokes then I use the virtual KB. If it's more than that I may use the physical KB. I don't find it all that bad. Any KB that size is going to be problematic. It's not meant for touch-typing!

Then again, I'm not a big texter. If I were I might feel differently.

I tend to use the virtual keybord mostly but will use physical keyboard when surfing the internet and want the webpage in full view

Physical. Just spending time getting used to it after spending two years in my Samsung i-760 keyboard.

I use the physical keyboard.. coming from a Treo, I wanted a physical keyboard. I can't use the Droid's keyboard with on hand like ya could with the Treo.

I picked the Droid up around 8:15a locally Friday and by Sunday I noticed my speed with it was picking up. I expected this... everything is hard until you learn. I expect that the learning curve is less with the virtual keyboard cause you're using a single finger *and* word completion. Maybe some/most of you are hunt and pecker type typers anyway?

Im a touch typer so am used to not looking as much at they keyboard... I can go fast with the physical keyboard.

One thing I want, the ability to have word completion available, especially for longer words.. anyone know how to pop that up with the physical keyboard?

Typing this on the physical keyboard, I love it!

PK for me. As a BB user, I'm used to the physical one. And I used to have Sidekicks, so I am good with a keyboard.

I am a long-time proponent of physical keyboards - a veritable evangelist! The real tactile response is unique to physical keyboards and I have told everyone I've discussed this with why this is.

For this reason, I steer clear of iPhones and the like, and have, instead, stuck with a series of Windows Mobile phones with keyboards. I even tried the LG Dare thinking I could change - BLAH! I changed again to an LG Voyager.

And yet, somehow, I am now using the virtual one most of the time!

Sure, If there is some real typing to be done, the physical keyboard comes out and I'm glad it's there - wouldn't have it any other way. But a couple words - virtual is just fine.

Actually, I'm using the Talk to Me keyboard and speaking my texts in short bursts, lately. I'm so much faster at talking than typing - it's pretty cool!

I use the physical keyboard for almost everything. It seems to have gotten softer for me almost like ive broken it in.

Droid should arive fedex today... I have 30 days to figure of if I can deal with any of the 3 keyboards... Looking forward to the evaluation...

i use the physical keyboard the majority of the time.. i loved the keyboard on my old Moto Q, so i love the feel of actual keys... soft keyboards are cool, but in my own opinion, nothing compares to the touchpal brand of soft keys
