Hi, I think it is interesting with all the viewpoints that come up. I guess though that i’ll never be able to fully grasp why someone skips over the internal keyboard for an external one. I for my part, would be totally screaming mad if for any reason my physical keyboard would break and i had to fall back on the internal one and if i couldn’t manage it. Don’t get me wrong here, please, but wouldn’t it be good to have something to fall back on just in case? I can understand if someone wants to use another input method than the standard one for longish texts, like blogs and the like, i don’t say anything about that, but i myself am feeling more confident knowing i have many options to fall back on should one not work. Hope this didn’t come through too criticising or something, i just want to try to understand this. /Krister
