When it's in landscape mode it's surprisingly easy to get used to typing pretty long emails or posts on here. Althought there's no tactile content to the buttons, the keypad is dead easy to use, certainly as easy as the slide-out qwerty pad on my old XDA Mini, and the spell checker is quite good, too. Those who've critisised it generally speaking have never actually used it properly, and it's a million miles better than the keypads on phones like N95's, for example. There are neat little tricks like on the ? key, if you press and hold you get ¿, and on & you get §, and " gets you « », for example. All my posting on here is done on my 3G, I never bother getting the Powerbook out, it's just too much hastle when I've got the phone in my pocket.
