Yeah I've been using mine for a few days also and feel the same way. It's OK but no rave reviews.

I compared this thumbboard to the built-in one on a 4355, and I think the 4355 implementation looks better. There are several key combinations on my thumbboard that are really awkward to press since the buttons are so close together- I have to try to press 2 keys at once with one thumb to be able to do it (but then again, I do have gargantuan hands. The holes in my bowling ball are practically on opposites sides from each other :-) ). Anyway, the 4355 keyboard seems to be laid out a lot better, for example the number keys are all on on the right (keypad style) and the function key to get numbers is on the far left hand side.

I've not actually used the 4355 keyboard, and I wonder if there are less thumb-gymnastics required to type common punctuation than this one. C'mon, you shouldn't have to crisscross your thumbs just to type an exclamation point right! :roll:
