I'm with you on the keyboard, Jennifer. Love love love my Bold, but thought I'd never learn to use the keyboard after having a Curve for sooooo long before.  Bold, Tour kb pretty similar, my GF has a Tour.

I finally figured out, for me anyway, that I had to stop trying to use the "tips" of my thumbs and, instead, use the "pads" of my thumbs/fingers. GF says when I explained it to her that way, she typed better on her Tour, too (her first BB, first PDA/smartphone).

I know these keyboards LOOK pretty good, and I think the Bold is a piece of ART, but I sure miss those seperated keys on my old Curve.

I hear that some of the fully enclosed cases with lasercut keyboard covers actually make typing easier . . . something to consider. Ask if your not sure what I'm talking about, and I or someone else can post a link . . . I think one company is InnoCase??? You can find them on the accessory pages.
