The most "proper" keyboard I've seen built into a hand-held is the
Psion's (series 5, also the Revo). From the photos of the Zaurus it
looks like you have to be a great fan of SMS (cellphone "text"
messaging) to find the keyboard useful. The Palm clones' stow-away
solution is much better, unless you're hell-bent on getting carpal thumb
syndrome. Does the Zaurus's large range of expansion slots allow you
to connect an external keyboard?
