Didn’t you see the Dell M1710? Mine is fairly old (6 months), and it was $2700 with a Nvidia 7900. Sheesh. Scott James,

What are you smoking?

I am in the market for a new phone and thought a smartphone like the Dash of the Blackjack might do the trick. I wondered over to my local T-Mobile store to try out a Dash and to ATT/Congular to try a Blackjack. I found out that...I am all thumbs. I couldn't type a short word without lots of typos. My thumbs just couldn't hit the keys just right. Listening to Mark this morning I was quite jealous. I didn't spend time checking out other features on the phones, even screen quality and usability as I couldn't get by the thumbboards. In your travels have you found this to be a common complaint? Any tips, tricks, or workarounds you have found to make it possible to use the keyboards? My daughter has a Nokia E-61 and that is much easier for me to type on, although not completely foolproof. Mark - any pros/cons/points of comparison between the E61 and the Dash? TIA. Alan I’ve been intrigued that the three of you have T-Mobile Dashes and rave about them.
