Before I get flamed, I must say it's up to personal preferences between a physical and virtual keyboard. Typing this fast may seem ridiculous to some, and I agree that it's not something the average joe can pull off. However, I just wanted to share these videos to help those who are having a hard time deciding which OS7 device to get to see that it is very possible to type as fast (if not faster) on a virtual keyboard, and to debunk the myth that typing on a virtual keyboard is slow. Just because it's slow for someone else it does not mean it'll be slow for you. Bottom line: Try it yourself!
Disclaimer: This is not a war between BB and other platforms. I couldn't find a typing speed test made by a BB touchscreen user as well as a properly recorded one on Android. So if you could, please add it to the list. Or even better, put those fingers to work and post a video of your mad typing skills! Maybe Kevin can put them up on the blog for some fun and laughter, or host a MobileNations typing contest or something.
