Before I got my TC I didn't think I would use the keyboard much and that it would just be for a quick note now and then. But I find that it is very usefull and I use it all the time now. It has me wondering if I would want to give it up.

I initially used about 75% graffiti and 25% keyboard.

As time has passed however, I have noticed that the numbers have flipped. I probably use the keyboard for 75% of my input and graffiti for only 25%.

How much do you use your keyboard vs graffiti?

About 95% keyboard; 5% graffiti.

I bought the T|C knowing I'd use the keyboard quite a bit. I was ready for a change from graffiti. I've only just now (after many months with the T|C) begun using graffiti when I have something very quick to write, like my password for getting into eWallet.

I don't have graffiti turn on. So I use my keyobard 100% for the time. It is now something that needs to be on any Palm that I get in the future.

I turned off the VG screen, and used the kb exclusively for quite a while. Yesterday I turned it back on after reading this thread, but I doubt I'll use Graffiti more than about 10%, and that for kb-unfriendly apps like WWCalc.

I won't consider a PDA without a kb.

I purchased the TC for the kb which is used 100% of the time. Grafitti is turned off. After using a Psion 5mx I hated using Grafitti on my m130, therefore I was thrilled when the TC came out with a kb.

Interesting indeed.

I know some people really like their keyboards. As I said, I didn't really think I would use it much. But now I love it. Maybe this kind of die-hard keyboard use is why HP is finaly coming out with a PPC with a keyboard?

I have met a lot of people who are put off PDA's by the stylus input and say they would be more likely to get one if there was a kb PDA available at a reasonable price.
