I loved having the qwerty on my tmobile dash. So when it got smashed (long story, something to do with a motorcycle and superman) I got the 3G slide. I got used to using the swype keyboard and never used the physical keys. So this time around just went with the 4G and no keyboard. Don't miss it...
Totally with you guys, after flashing several roms, trying to get them to work properly, then ending up too frustrated to continue, went right back to stock rom. rooted and removed bloatware. now happy as can be.
