I like my 8830 but I hate the keyboard. Is there anyone that makes a replacement keyboard that has better buttons? Seems like an easy fix for some of us who like other keyboards
What do you dislike - the BLUE colored lights and silver keys?
I got a black keypad with white lights from cnn.cn and it is much better. Much easier to see. Not hard to replace. Shipping from Hong Kong took about 7-10 days.
Better buttons? Are you meaning a firmer press, or what? What don't you like about the keyboard?
Some people prefer the Curve's keyboard. The spacing makes it easier for some to find the individual keys. I like the WE's keyboard because I can run across the keys pretty fast to get where I want to go without the braile feeling of the Curve's keyboard.
Also, the Niagara is on the way to market. It has a similar keyboard to the 8830/Bold. From what I hear, it has an easier to use feel to it.
I can't see them in the dark but the biggest problem is that I can't "feel them". Seems that it is really an individual preference but I tried a curve and I could type much better with it even though the keys were smaller. I'd like buttons with more of a curve or bump for each key. They seem to be very flat.
Pretty much any replacement 8830 keyboard is going to have the same feel to it. Some people prefer the 8830/Bold keyboard. Others prefer the Curve's keyboard. That is one of the reasons the two lines exist.
