HTC Advantage: That Keyboard!

After about 3 weeks of using the HTC Advantage, I can tell you that typing on the chicklet keyboard is not impossible, but it is hard. I have my best results holding the unit in both hands and typing with my thumbs. If I put the unit down on the desk and try to type with my fingers, I sometimes accidentally touch the screen with part of my hand. That either moves the cursor or, worse, changes to another screen. The thumb-typing method minimizes that. For serious typing, pairing Addy with my Stowaway bluetooth keyboard works great.

The hardest thing is trying to type comments in those little comment boxes on blogs. For some reason, there is a serious lag after you type before the character shows on the screen. Typing in email or mobile office apps isn't that bad.
