There are always people who will complain. They should have known about the keyboard when they bought the phones.

I unlike most people research on everything before i buy it. So when i got the pre i was not surprised that it doesnt do this or that (yet)

See..that is something I will never complain about. I don't like onscreen keyboards.

Give it a week and you will not have any problems typing on the keyboard. When I first got mine I had a problem hitting the bottom of the screen when trying to type on the top row of keys, that doesn't happen anymore.

After playing around with my mother's Pre I think the screen is a bit small for a practical full qwerty keyboard.

People always complain, if the phone had no physical keyboard people would want one, now it doesn't have a virtual keyboard people want one. Phone manufacturers should just make phones with slide/fold out keyboards and virtual ones fresh off.

That's exactly what happened. They bashed the iPhone for not having a physical keyboard, and the same people who led the outcry are now complaining for a lack of on screen KB. That's how society is.

the iphone got bashed for not having a physical keyboard because using the portrait only on screen keyboard was annoying at times. they solved that issue by adding a landscape keyboard.

pre owners are complaining about the lack of a touchscreen keyboard because the physical portrait only keyboard is really bad. after a few months of typing on the pre keyboard all pre users hands will look like this...

That's funny, because I've been thinking for a long time that Blackberry users are starting to look like this...

the phone that guy is holding has a MUCH better keyboard than the one on the pre. i bet pre owners wouldn't complain about the lack of a touchscreen keyboard if there's was at least that good.
