I'm delighted to have someone to share links with! It's awesome to see someone else who really can't stand the on-screen keyboard. My boss has an iPhone that he likes a lot, and I tried one out for a while; it was a total failure, because the touchscreen keyboard was simply too hard to use. The autocorrect didn't know any of my words, the keys were too insensitive, and it couldn't keep up with me at ALL. I hate, hate, HATE touch-screen keyboards. It's bad enough on ATM machines! Now I have a Nokia E71x, which is the leetle electronic love of my life.
The touchscreen is honestly one of the biggest barriers between me and getting an iPad for traveling and browsing (along with the no flash/no ports/no multitasking thing), and why I adore my netbook beyond the words to express it. My netbook is FABULOUS. I've got Windows 7 running on one, and one of the ones at work has Linux (so we can play), and they run them beautifully.
