I was all excited to check out the Touch for Sprint as it looked like a decent smartphone and I wouldn't have to change providers....and Sprints prices for data plans are pretty great.
Then I watched a video which shows that you really need to use the stylus for any kind of text entry.
Ugh.
All I need is a nice phone that can do text messaging, email, web browsing, photos, multimedia, simple office tasks and syncs to OS X with ease....
They do mention an improved keyboard in the article "pop up virtual 12-key and 20-key keyboards ". I don't understand a 20 key keyboard unless it's some sort of suretype-esque solution. Otherwise, sorry J,K,Z,Q,G, and X, plus all the numbers and symbols.
There are lots of options availiable for Windows Mobile that give you the ability to type with your fingers.. I don't see this is a reason for not getting the touch, since such solutions are not that expensive..
by the way, a touch with 400 mhz and gps sounds pretty nice to me ;)
