Has anyone switched from a full qwerty keyboard to a phone without a full keyboard? I'm thinking of getting a 7100 because my 8700 broke, but I'm not sure I will be able to type!

Takes a few days to get used to it, but it will happen lol.

I have both currently, and I can type faster on the SureType than qwerty.

Smaller phone ftw! But everyones needs are different lol

I probably send out 50 emails for everyone call, so that may have dictated my preference.

I switched from a sidekick lx to this pearl 8120 and it took me about a week to get good at it. This was because my mind associating narrow phones with standard abc, def, ghi keyboards

Thanks for the help everyone!

Give Suretype a week and you will love it. You just need to get use to it. It's great to have a small phone !

i have a 7520 & 7100i and prefer the true qwert of the 7520.
a good trick i showed my users who i have on 7100i's is to not look at the screen until you are about ready to send the email. otherwise you will go batsheet crazy with all the words it is thinking you are wanting to type.
