I have decided that I need a physical keyboard to do anything more than type in a word or two for Google to search or something. I can't touch type on an LCD (need feedback from actual keys) and it's too frustrating to hunt-and-peck.

I prefer the original LCD keyboard because I found it slightly easier to hunt-and-peck (larger surface area for individual keys), although I'm hopeful that I'll get used to the new layout (for as little as I use it).
