I like the idea of these tiny computers, but really anything with a blackberry-style thumb keyboard is just a non-starter for me. It looks cool, but if I sit and think about actually using it for even a second I know I wouldn't like it. It's a shame I don't see more of these kinds of products that utilize a foldout keyboard like the thinkpad 701C and instead roll with the thumb keyboard, but then again maybe the moving parts of having the pop-out bits is failure-prone and not worth doing either.
- cr0sh 7y agoI personally miss the slide-out keyboard of my old G1 phone (that, and the trackball). While technically still a "thumb keyboard" - which you probably wouldn't like - it was still wide enough to not make my thumbs cramp while composing emails and text messages, which I find anything narrower to do to me. Plus - it was easy to access when you needed it - then slide it back, and there's your phone again.
