Thanks for the responses. Sounds like the 7100 deserves a serious look, albeit with less than a full keyboard. Maybe I'll see if know anyone with a working 7100 and give it a shot; I just can't stand store sales people telling me "it works great...you'll type faster than on the regular keyboard!!" Yeah right...
Anyway, I guess I'll hold off for a bit until I can get my hands on the 7100g when it comes out and try the keyboard. Thanks, again!
