I am wearing out the second keyboard on my Q10 which has started to "double type" again. I hesitate to buy another BB with a keyboard but from my understanding the Passport is built by a different company. What is your impression of the keyboard? Will this one last or will it start to double type like so many Q-10's are doing? How is the feel compared to the Q10? Does anyone know if the keyboard construction is any different?

Keyboard has a nice feel to it. Tactile response is spot on as well. But I don't think you will be typing any faster than you did on q10 or the bold, especially when you have to type in a lot of numbers and punctuations.

The keyboard has a bit of learning curve and you will get used to the new layout in weeks time. With the combination of word prediction and gestures, I can type pretty long emails without too much problem.

I find that I can type a lot more accurately than the q10 but nut as fast as I did before.

I typed this response without looking at the keyboard. You can do it. But don't expect 60 words per minute you may have enjoyed in the q10 or the bold.
