Depends on the meaning of "fast enough." I typically type on my Palm using my index finger, not my thumbs. Typing that way is faster than writing and my error rate is near zero, which speeds input a lot too. Yes, thumb typing is even faster, but not that much faster. I would not use this for writing a movel, but for quick notes the keypad and my index finger are plenty fast enough. If I really needed very fast input I would carry a voice recorder, not a PDA. You can then run that through voice recognition if you must.
