Just can't do index finger touchscreen typing near as fast. I think the 9700 is a downgrade keyboard wise from previous models such as curves but the rest of the unit is a step up. However except for these areas RIM is far behind. Their touchscreen just can't match the elegence of apple. Their development environment sucks ass compared to apple or android. Their bleeding edge feature sets are way behind that of htc such as on the new EVO or Incredible. Their feature sets just make you drool. Their cpus are much slower. Their web browser sucks compared to either apple or android products (even with opera etc). Basically either RIM needs to come out with a product that really blows away all these faults or they will be left in the dust as the new iphone 4g / htc evo / incredible and countless unannounced products hit the market. If htc or iphone had a great keyboard and the efficiency of my 9700 I would be theirs in half a heartbeat. Its only because of nerve damage I stay where I am. But the slow, low pixel, low cpu power, bad os dev environment, bad browser etc will start destorying RIMs marketshare this year. The only question is how fast as RIM doesn't seem to be able to innovate fast enough in this new phone gen market.

The tracks never line up on those devices. How about a pivot? The keyboard would be under and the user could type on the keyboad and have the flexibility to look at a landscape or portrait screen? I would think that a pivot would be more sturdy and less likely to break. If you are having trouble visualizing, take a deck of cards. Cut the deck and put one part up and down and the other part right to left so that they share a corner in common. When you are done with the keyboard, you just pivot it back into place.

Assuming this is accurate, I agree that thickness would be a big concern for me. I'd rather adapt to a soft keyboard than lug around another brick.
