Just curious to know how many actually uses or wants to use thumboards to enter text. Why or why don't you want to use one? You can explain your answer as well.

Where are the numbers on this thumboard? Does anyone have one of these (Pocket PC Phone or other device)? Do you have to hit a "Function" key in order to get the "number" keys to display i.e., on the PPC screen? What's the use if you don't have numbers :roll:?

My hands are large crushing engines of power, and I type. I'd rather have a keyboard.

Think of Godzilla, tearing the roof off a cyber-pub and with a keyboard in front of him, trying to peck keys with a claw!

Wow 8O! Now that's impressive when you can actually still find a picture of Godzilla around :). Yes, I understand your theory. I too have big hands and to type on itty-bitty buttons seems very difficult; at least to me (and you and to whomever else have big hands/fingers).
