I can touch type, so now I have to relearn all over to "thumb type", which I don't like so much. And, onscreen keyboards suck. :S They are fine for typing a few words, but not e-mails or conversations. One thing that is important in a mobile device is tradeoffs. The big plus of such a device is that it can fit in your pocket. I haven't yet seen a decent keyboard that is foldable (but lots of crap ones). So, in my opinion, the question shouldn't be "do you want/need a mechanical keyboard", but rather "would adding this bring the subscription rate over 100%"? If it would, even if it adds to the cost, it's something to consider. If it's only going to be a feature that will bring subscriptions along 10%, then it should be something considered for a "future model". Thanks, Gerald
