I bought this phone because I want'd the biggest screen, thinking I would be watching movies and playing games and just be one of the cool kids!

Well, it turns out that a few apps are used daily, but most of the time, I use my phone as a phone, and the virtual keyboard just sucks!!

Anyway, if there are any out there, I will definitely have a physical keyboard in my next phone, if any are available.

LJ,

Get the Swype app if it is not pre-installed in your HTC.

http://www.swype.com/

I know. I also hate virtual kyboards in these smartphones with their tiny virtual buttons with no tactile feedback.

But with Swype (which is pre-installed on my Samsung), I can type several magnitudes faster than on a full size PC keyboard. Now if only they have a full size PC keyboard with touchscreen that utilizes Swype....that would really be something !

Swype is awesome. It takes a little getting used to but improves my typing no end when you are used to it. It's the one thing I miss on my iPad.
