I guess similar to laptop fn key location preference it depends entirely on personal opinion of what is better or what they are familiar with
I am new to BBs but I find myself definately wishing that the caps key take the place of the alt key on the left side. Seems closer to keyboard layout. I still make noob typing mistakes because of the location.

Maybe it's me but I realize my BB is not my computer. That makes it easier.
The two behave differently. I am a heavy user of my phone (email in excess of
300 per day, BBM, Yahoo IM, document viewing and editing, etc...)
and I still know that the two devices are not interchangeable.
I've never considered that the alt key should be the caps(shift) key like a computer keyboard. Its a effortless transition from berry keyboard to computer keyboard.
Probably cuz u guys are seasoned BB pros. Comming fresh to BBs with a hugh experience with PC keyboards, the transistion isn't normal. I don't make the mistakes often but they are normally in the form of a hangup or slowdown when I realize my finger position is not in the right area. I'm sure ill get used to it but would have been great I think if they swapped the keys. I understand older gen BBs have the layout swapped but that new gen BBs is the current layout?

From using the computer constantly as a Graphic Designer, to then using the BB to randomly text, YES, it can get confusing. I don't use my phone to send hundreds of emails and IMs. I'm very well aware that a BB is not a computer, and that they are not interchangeable. I am also new to the BB keyboard itself. Simple as that. Wow.
