U used a Hero keyboard one night - decided I could get used it. I used
an iPhone for a week and got very good at it. The past two days I've
been using the Pre keyboard pretty heavily. It's a pain, but I'm getting
reasonably accurate with it.
As to subjective, you are exactly correct. I've used laptop
keyboards I've loved and others I've hated. I just replaced a Dell
Inspiron with one of the best keyboards I've used, with an HP with
glossy keys and a press feel that doesn't appeal. But the HP is a 17.3"
that forms the portable core of a primarily desktop system attached to
an external keyboard I like.
Craig seems to love the Pre keyboard. His fingers may be smaller
than mine, and his use not as hardcore. After the past few days, I can
see he's sort of right. Like the iPhone or the Hero, you get used to it
-- maybe.
