I'm just the opposite... after over a year on a Motorola Razr Maxx HD, I'd be willing to pay big money to get my Blackberry Bold back, primarily for the keyboard. I was good for 60-70 words per minute on that keyboard without looking. Just typing out a simple text message on the Motorola, even with Swiftkey, is painful. I carry around an Apple Bluetooth keyboard to use as a stop-gap, but I keep hoping someone will release a modern phone with the Blackberry form. I'm still jealous of the people in my office who are still on the old Blackberries.
