Shawn of PDA247 is suffering from the Treo thumb. Could it be cause the keys are too close together? Anyone else experience this? I never have on my UX. Just wondering.

I've heard about iPod finger. However, I'm prone to get Powerbook wrists.

I have on my UX and NX and I am only 14 :(

I have for a while, then went back to stylus writing with decuma on my TH. Now that is gone, afraid I'll have to get the treo thumbs again with my treo.

I get pain in my thumbs as well, plus I have heard blackberry users who have had their thumbs even turn red from too much typing, I have to take saturday off from Treo Typing since I send about 20 emails a day from the dang thing.

Wow, I'm 17 dragongames and I don't get that. The worst I ever had was that my thumb would like stay in one place and I would have to kinda pop it out but that only happened once and it didn't hurt.

Doesn't happen to me, but I guess I don't type as much on it as others.

I wish I could afford "Sony Clie N760c -> Sony Clie TG-50 -> Treo 600 -> Sony Clie NX80, Fossil wrist PDA-> Sony Clie UX50, LG PM-325, PSP, GameCube, PS2, Apple iBook G4" when I was 14 dragonsgames :>

[dragonsgames]

Yes, but I sold the old ones to buy new ones. I do not have all those units. The PSP, GameCube, and PS2 are not mine, but my brothers, so I have access to them. ;)
My Dad buys them for me. I got the N760c from my Dad, which he got for free from work. The TG50 was new :D and the NX80/UX50 were used.

Hmm, I hi-jacked the thread, didn't I? :o

Life is good :>

I got hairy palms once in 8th grade ... But never Treo fingers ... LOL

One solution is going back to the old but really good Graffiti. I'm using Graffiti Anywhere (freeware) and it's just perfect. I prefer it much more than the keyboard in fact.

I feel that wears off the screen too fast.

If it does it to a Graffiti Area, I would expect it to happen on the screen ;)
(Why I use a screen protector) ;)
