POLL: Do you like the keyboard?

[collection]

Do you think the next android based phone should come with a physical keyboard, like this one?

[MobileMan]

I think it should have both. So you can type with one or two hands.

[Lukster]

why i most certainly do

[Stanovoy]

I will not buy it if it doesn't have a physical keyboard.

[Divest]

[strike]The subject is a bit vague because it doesn't really say compared to what.

I voted yes either way because it's comfortable, infinitely more comfortable than a virtual keyboard at least.

Compared to other pull out keyboards, I wouldn't know. I've really only used the cheapy Rumor Sprint phone keyboard and of course, it sucked.[/strike]

Yes, I think the next phone should have a pull out keyboard. I'm not sure anyone would vote "no". I think the only votes for "no" will be those, like myself, who assumed the poll creator would know how to make a proper poll thread and voted based on the subject.

I think different phones are better suited for different type of people depending on what they do on thier phone. Obvisouly a virtual keyboard like the iPhone woudnt be best for me since i put out about 4,000+ messages a month. Some people dont text very much so a virtual keyboard would be perfect for them.

I liked the keyboard on my Sidekick better. The keys were raised a little higher. On my G1 they're a little too flat.

[MrGibbage]

I marked "Yes", but I find myself typing with the end of my fingernails and I am worried that I might start scratching the letters off.

[NetCom]

I also marked yes but do have comparison to make: T-Mobile MDA keyboard is definitely wider and that helps in slightly faster typing but nothing extra fast.
If the phone does not have the keyboard I will still have to see what kind of phone it is. For instance I like what beHOLD has currently. If is in portrait mode you get the on-screen keyboard in the format of the regular phone numbers. If you turn it into the landscape position it switches to full qwerty keyboard on-screen.

We are just one app far away to have that on our G1s - so I am not scared that much that G2 will not be better than G1

tactile improvements must be made, but i want a physical qwerty.
