    My question for Z10 users coming from physical keyboards--how long is the learning curve to accurately and efficiently type on the virtual keyboard? Also, is there a way to change the responsiveness of the touchscreen on the device?

    They keyboard will learn your typing style as you type. In my case, I came back to the QWERTY keyboard after a few month with the Z10.

    actually became proficient in a few days. Prior was always physical keyboard. I feel I adapted fairly well.

    I dont know about changing the responsiveness of the touchscreen, however I can address my experience with the Z10.
    I have never been able to use a virtual keyboard before, and I've had several andriod phones, with no luck.
    The vast majority of what I use my phone for is chatting ("real time"), email, texting.
    I had (and still have) a BB9900 for over a year and loved it. Finally had found a phone that I could use well and type well.
    I bought a Z10 about 3 months ago and, well...........
    The keyboard is fantastic. I've tried my BB9900 a few times lately and it's simply no match for the keyboard on the Z10.
    I can type faster and much more accurately with the Z10 then even with the full sized keyboard on my PC.
    I simply can't see going back the the 9900 or even getting a Q10.
    The keyboard "learned" me in a couple of days and once I learned to trust it, I can just fly now.

    I transitioned from my Torch 6 weeks ago (this is my 4th BB in 12yrs). I was going to wait for the large screen model with keyboard but work wanted a beta tester for the Z10.

    Within a couple of emails, I was shocked at how well the keyboard worked. I'm in IT and it easily transitioned into my jargon.

    I have an Android Nexus7 and iphone5, the z10's keyboard is the winner IMHO.

    No regrets.

    I've been using a Z10 for three months now and while I have gotten better at using its virtual keyboard, when it comes to speed and accuracy what I can do with the virtual keyboard is nowhere close to what I can do using a physical keyboard. But I have been using physical keyboards for a very long time so I guess that's to be expected.

    The Z10 keyboard is the only phone virtual keyboard that has worked for me. I tried the iPhones and Samsungs and couldn't get them to work at all.

    I had an opportunity to speak with someone in BlackBerry Development about being able to adjust the touchscreen sensitivity and was told that there wasn't a way to do that, but that it was an interesting idea.
