Personally, I have no more trouble typing on the Storm than I do on the iPhone or any other touchscreen device, so maybe it's your paws that are the problem.
I'm really excited for this update. I never got the hang of SureType anyway (and multitap on a touchscreen is surprisingly difficult), so this is awesome for me. The only bad thing I really have to say about the Storm is the typing lag on the browser, but that seems to be a problem for all touch screen devices (my iPod Touch included); sometimes the camera freezes; and the screen orientation shifting can lag or freeze (also happens on my iPod Touch). I'm also looking forward to not having to holster it every time I want to lock it without the screen staying on and burning battery while it's in my pocket.
Do I get to call people on my iPod touch? No. Text message? Nope. Email people conveniently without having to pay $20? Sorry. Quit crying about having to pay for a cell phone, I have to pay for mine AND shell out the money for these updates, so we iPod Touch users do have something to complain about, thank you.
Hey, I'm all for a few added features and lots of fixes for Vista in Windows 7. It has a lot of potential, but I would rather wait another year or two and get another XP then get another ME.
Also, to put this out there: Windows users, get over Apple and Linux. Apple and Linux users, get over each other and Windows. It's all a huge fight about who is right and who is wrong, when I've used all three. If you need an inexpensive OS with maximum customization and you know how to do it, Linux. If you need an OS with a pretty box to put it in, ease of use, and slight customization, go Apple. If you need an OS with a pretty box, hardware customization, and you already know how to use it, Windows. The reason why Apple is getting all this hype is because it has a slightly smaller learning curve for basic to intermediate use than Linux or Windows.
I think that people who haven't tried anything but what they use now shouldn't even open their mouths about this "OS War" because they have no clue what they're talking about.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
