Best way I can describe the WIN's keyboard and typing experience is to make the analogy to typing on a BlackBerry mobile phone. Did you have ever have or use one?
Yes, my company's phone is an old Blackberry Bold 9780 one. I prefer its QWERTY keyboard over any virtual one, but I'd find it to be too unconfortable on a clamshell: on my Blackberry, each time I press a key I have to pay attention that I'm not pressing any other key. On my personal phone it's even worse, BTW, with its tiny 2.8 inches display I often press a wrong key. I'll maybe try to find an alternative keyboard app with fewer and bigger keys.
Very similar feel of clicking on the little keys. A relatively firm click of the keys is needed. Very different than typing on most laptop keys/keyboards.
Works OK, but not the best keyboard if you want to type more than some short phrases or a few sentences.
If typing and keyboard experience is a main concern, I'd definitely go with either the Gemini or GPD Pocket. Both will be much better/comfortable typing experiences.
Ok, it's as I thought. Thanks for the info.
PS. I'm debating whether to get a Gemini or Pocket myself......each has their own advantages....
Apart for the keyboard, size is also a major concern for me, and the Gemini is smaller than the Pocket, although it's not as small as I would have liked though. I'd suggest you to choose which features you'd need the most, and make your choice basing on that.
Regarding the Gemini with the LTE module, I'm wondering if it would be possible to use it as a phone under Linux too, or if you'd have to switch to Android every time. Is there any software for Linux which interfaces with an 3G/LTE module and handles the voice calls and SMSes? Failing that, Minicom can be used to send AT commands for the calls
