Hey I know it's a lost cause, but has anyone noticed how godawful it is to type on screen keyboards of any size? Autocorrect hurts as often as it helps, and typing in transit of any form is horrific. I'm typing this on the toilet and still correcting 1-2 typos per sentence, on a big phone.

I really hate some of the magical Jobs dictates that others blindly follow, and no keyboards is one. May have to look for a smaller slider.

(To say nothing of the muscle memory ability lost by the dumb dumb dumb removal of physical menu and nav buttons.)

Yeah, I hear you. I know it's hip to talk badly about Blackberry, but I've got a Bold 9900 and the keyboard is pretty darned awesome. Swipe and predictive text and all that stuff are ok, but I actually do better writing/typing on the BB. Wish I could have that keyboard with my Samsung Note 3, which has better apps.
