I have another discussion going on here: Is it just for the keyboard that keeps you with BlackBerry? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

Any ex-Blackberry users on here who are missing the keyboard so badly they plan to go back?

As a former Palm loyalist, I didn't think I could adapt to an onscreen keyboard, but I have. It doesn't take that long to get use to an onscreen keyboard .

Ex BB user - Yes (Religiously used a 9780 for 1 or maybe 1.5 year, was sparkling new even on the day I sold it)
Missing Keyboard - Nope

Win Phone 8 keyboard is smooth as butter gliding on silk, kind of.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my Blackberry World Edition. But the Windows Phone operating system is so much more fun and productive. I missed the keyboard before, but now that i'm used to onscreen, I love it.

I once vowed that I would not give up my bold 9700 / curve 9360 simply for the keyboard, but after 9 months with iPhone 5 I've learned to change. Although I do miss my keyboard short cuts.

I had a 9000 and a 9700 and got started on the Mobile Nations forums with CrackBerry.

I never thought I'd adjust to a virtual keyboard, but now I don't miss it at all. I type faster on my 900 than I did on any device with a physical keyboard. I'd never be able to go back to a physical keyboard or a tiny screen at this point.
