Hi Barry.
Ditto did exactly the same as you and agree entirely!
The first two weeks were as frustrating as hell but time well invested.
I know that if I'd had the keyboard from the start it would of taken me far
longer to get to grips with the touch screen.

Hi Jackie,

I'd say it took at least 2 weeks of using the on-screen keyboard before I
started to feel reasonably comfortable.  Allot of frustration!  I've now got
the Wireless keyboard and of course it's wonderful.  I'm very glad though
that I spent several months with the on-screen keyboard and controls though
first!  

Barry.
