I found the same to be true for me as well. The touchscreen keyboard was just plain annoying. The Kindle keyboard is too small, as you say, but I find that my typing mistakes are much fewer, part in thanks to the positive click.

I'll be sorry to see keyboards go, but my guess is that they would add cost once you have the touch screen. Now, if they ever developed a color, eInk, works in the sunlight, 30 day battery life I just might have to re-consider.
