Ditto for me. I enjoy having my fold-out keyboard for my Tungsten T
(which I *STILL* can't make talk to my RH box!) because it's handy,
portable, etc.
I have used a mini-keyboard though. For me, it didn't work out well at
all; it felt uncomfortable and was difficult to work with. When I'm
holding my device in my hands, I'm much more fond of the graffiti. I'm
pretty good at it, too; it's not as fast as typing, but I can do the
graffiti as fast as I write long-hand, with very few errors. :)
Sliante,
