Any small keyboard on a device will suck.

I have been meaning to order one of these:

((The various vendors' versions all seem to be branded versions of the

to try with a cell phone store's BBB to see how well it works.  I do
know that a nice SSH client is available for the Curve.

The Storm seems to have a nice screen on it, so I was thinking of
getting a Storm if the external keyboard can be made to work.
