QWERTY Keyboard Thumboards

Visual comparison of different QWERTY slider phones. Samsung i760, Sprint HTC Mogul xv6800, AT&T Tilt HTC TyTN2, and Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.

Keyboard on the Nokia N810 internet table up close. Note that they key layout is somewhat funky, but very useable. The and bottom alpha row (starting with the Z under the A, instead of under the S key like most other keyboards) is off by one character, but overall, useable, and the key is nice. Keys need more click, somewhat mushy.

This is the Samsung i760 keyboard. Somewhat cramped, and only 3 rows with the funky space bar and key layout as well. Hard to hit the top row as it's too close to the slider, but the keys have a good tactile feedback and feel.

Here is the Motorola Q9 world. It comes from AT&T shipped with two batteries. One is 1800mah (the thick one) and the thin one is a bit over 1100mah.

Here is a Motorola Q9m (Verizon) next to a Moto Q9 world. You can see the keyboard layouts are completely different. The Q9m only comes with one battery. Seems to have slightly better voice quality. The Q9m uses a standard mini-USB charging/data port, while the Q9 world uses a funky new micro-USB which doesn't make sense in a device of this size since there's plenty of space for a standard mini-USB jack.
