Virtual Keyboards suck, the have to have auto correct because they suck. I have fat fingers and I have absolutely no prob with the keyboard on the pre. Every single smart phone I have had or played with regardless of key size I have had to learn how to type on them, but once I did my speed always blows away anyone using a virtual keyboard. Try it, get a friend with an android based phone or an Iphone and have a competition with them. Don't just type a sentence or two, but type alot (Like most of us do on our pre). You will leave them in the dust. No physical keyboard means most of what I do on my pre (text, IM and email) will take so much longer to do on one those absolutely horrible Virtual Keyboard Phones. As far as build quality, well lets see, the HTC went all cheap and made a brick just like the Iphone, just a brick with nothing at all moving on it - so 2 years ago. One would think they could build a phone with a keyboard with all their superior built quality expertise. Really, now, you must not use your phone for much if you are satisfied with a virtual (JUNK) cheap, cheap, cheap keyboard only cell. LONG LIVE THE PRE and the awsome-ness not to make me live with a sub-par keyboardless design of the HTC and the Iphone (so cheap).
