There's a science to keyboards on smartphones too. Usually, unless it's terrible, you like the first one you ever use because you don't know anything else. When you touch other ones you start to get a feel for which ones are better than others. Having played with the keyboards on Nokias like the 9300, 6820, 6800, E61, and E70, the little Moto T-Mobile released with a keyboard, Cingular's 8125, and a couple different Blackberrys, I still rank the E70's keyboard somewhere towards the top. After using a butterfly keyboard (like the BB Pearl), you really start to appreciate other keyboards. It is HARD to get used to pushing a button not 2, but THREE ways depending on what you want it to do.
