Ditto. I have really tried, on blackberry, iphone, and android phones and tablets, and I just don't get on with it. Even on the playbook, which is admittedly one of the better ones, I still cant stand it. There is just something missing- no feel of the button moving so I know that it has been pressed, and constant hitting of incorrect keys.
I don't use predictive text- I like to type the letters of the whole word rather than looking for a word that is suggested (in which time I could have typed the word quickly on a qwerty anyway) - so maybe that doesn't help matters.


Hoping (ok, praying) that the Q10 is everything it would appear to be in previews.
