in landscape mode i use the fully qwerty keyboard and in portrait i use the suretype mode. Suretype takes some getting use to but once you get the hang of it it really is better.
I want to use suretype but sometimes but I mean to type words like "hey" I get like get, so I have to click it from the menu. Which slows it down. Otherwise, i get it fast.
I use full keyboard in portrait. My hands are far from small, but I have found that I can get extremely fast almost to the point of not having to consciously think about what button to push (like typing on a regular keyboard). After doing this several times and getting pretty good results (not perfect, but very few errors), I went back and tried they same speed on the S1... just could not get close to the same speed.

I use suretype in portrait. I think it is a little hard to type full keyboard in portrait.
Suretype gets some used to in the beginning but it will get better quickly and it is a lot easier to type with one hand. It also saves words, so if you had trouble typing a word before it will most likely type it right the next time.
Same with like "get" and "hey".. whichever you type the most it will use first (I'm pretty sure thats how it goes)
If I know I'm going to be typing words I know my berry will not recognize I will use the full keyboard in landscape. Hope this helps a little
I use landscape when im walking around and Suretype when Im driving..
When driving???
I use Suretype 100% of the time. It does remember the words that you type so it gets better the more you use it and if you know that it will not recognize a word, you can add it to the custom dictionary so it will recognize it. That's what I do.
Has anyone seen if the S2 has Key Roll over as is mentioned in Kevin's review of the unit? I like the idea of the letters popping up to be seen as I type.

They don't pop up, but they do highlight with a wide enough halo that you can tell what letter you're on - at least I can - and since you have to actually PRESS the screen in order for it to register, it makes typing fairly simple.
As for the original question, I use full qwerty in both modes. The keyboard in portrait is just a little smaller than on my old BB. I suck at suretype, but can type pretty quickly in full QWERTY.
That's what I do.
