Is this because you don't like swype? The stock on-screen keyboard is already installed, you know?

Stock sux. Htc ime rules, but swype is basically the same. I may go back to htc ime just because I like the color better. On the otherhand, swyping is nice to have when you feel like using it. I usually just touch tho.

This hardware keyboard sux compared to G1 which already sucked compared to Touch Pro. I am very dissapointed and might send it back.

You my friend need some help. The froyo stock keyboard is really good now with the improvements they continue to make. And the hardware keyboard is the best hardware keyboard on any android device, G1 included.

This is the virtual keyboard I have used on my G1, Vibrant, and G2. Swype is ok but I feel that I can type faster on this virtual keyboard instead.

1) The Froyo VK doesn't have a voice input button. Even though I hardly ever use it, I like knowing I can "type" in to any box using my voice while driving my car.

2) Really wide keys means much more finger movement. Missing number row on top sucks (much more fn-key bs). The fact that the letters are on the left side of each key means I press it off-center which feels weird. The screen has accidentally slid closed (or at least half way) many times while trying to hold the phone and type fast. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TYPE "<" or ">" using the G2 hardware keyboard. I really just can't believe how much it sucks or that anyone likes it. G1 was better. Nothing compares to old HTC Touch Pro. I would give my left nut for a clone of the HTC Touch Pro that had a capacitive TS and could run Froyo with Flash as quickly as the G2.

Thank you for posting this. This is EASILY THE BEST KEYBOARD I have ever used that wasn't a hardware one. And I'm counting the iPhone keyboard. Amazing!

What are you talking about?? The stock keyboard was the first to get voice input and has had it ever since. Have you not used the phone?

Nah, the g1s keys were very flat. Give it some time, ul get used to it.
Htc ime keyboard is the most visually appealing imo.
