Motorola Comfirms New Droid Keyboard

[Echo3]

I dont have any problems with my keyboard so its not an issue if they're changing out the keyboard. As long as it works and holds up, that's all I care about. My unit doesnt suffer any of the issues that has been described anyways. So I'm fine!

Keyboard redesign will be in next model I bet! I dont really use it anyway, I used the virtual one on the evtouch and this one is WAY bigger so I can fly using the virtual.

To be honest, I feel like the only Droid owner on Earth who:

A) Uses the hard keyboard exclusively,
B) Has no problems with it.

Even though, an update makes me jealous, but it depends on what it is exactly.

The keyboard on the Samsung Moment from Sprint looks very nice. A guy I work with has this phone. I didnt even know it was an Android phone, I saw him typing on it, I walked over to take a look and saw it was Android. I didnt get to type on it but can only imagine its much better than what we have.

The biggest problem to me with the Droid keyboard is it is very hard to distinguish one key from the next since its virtually flat.

I use it quite frequently and I don't have a problem with it : )

In all honesty it's a non-issue to me. I don't care what kind of keyboard they put on the next iteration. I'll use it just the same.

My interest lies more in the touch interface and OS. The KB is just an added bonus.

I get better on it everyday. At this point it is not an issue.

I never use the physical keyboard. Makes no difference to me.

Yep...neither do I

i honestly use the keyboard a ton, but... i have 17 year old hands, so its easy for me to use it. i like the keyboard, and its "worth its weight" for me. however, i've been saying since the very beginning, that motorola REALLY should do the same thing that apple did and offer a subsidized price on an upgrade in a year that doesnt affect our contracts, because just like the iphone 1, the droid has some problems.

I'm the same way

What is the update? I didn't even see what it was...the only flaw to me on the phone is going to be the fact that the keys are bunched together. If they update the keyboard to put spaces in between the keys I might spend a few hundred bucks to replace my unit.

I agree ... I love the keyboard. I love the DPAD.

But I have been using computers since input was with punch cards. I mean, come on, it is easier than feeding in cards with holes punched in them

I actually like the keyboard...I can type fast...and I mean FAST on it + without looking at it and my friends think its weird...If this is true I'll just get the new one for the fun of it I guess...

I would like to see more proof that it is indeed being modified. If they do it within a year, I'll be complaining to Motorola. I see their own immediate redesign of the keyboard as an admission of this keyobard's defect, so in my eyes it falls as a manufacturer's defect!
BHAM! New Droid!!:icon_ banana:

 

[roflcopters]

I honestly don't have any gripes with the keyboard on the Droid. It's comfortable for me, easy to type on, I don't make mistakes...oh well.

Man, Asurion's going to be raking in the deductible payments for semi-accidental toilet drops on this one.

Hahahaha!! I was thinking the same thing. For me it's not that much of a deal cause I hardly use the physical. But then again.... if it was much better I probably would have used it more. Oh well, it is what it is.
