I don't mind a tiny thumboard for the once in a blue moon need for text entry. But that mid-sized keyboard really turns me off.
Just an idea to follow on that... the keyboard could be split in two rows, one on each side, that are thumb operated, a little like that numbered button row on that new 505. It could work although with a steep learning curve to be efficient.
