> My experience with some early Android sliders (HTC Dream and HTC Desire Z) is that the keyboards don't have all the keys I need.
That's what the Sym button is for. Pop-up a menu on screen showing other, less-frequently used keys. Several apps included similar workarounds.
The LG F3Q did a good job with their keyboard, only omitting tab and pipe, but it was possible to remap keys to get those.
But then again, I'm from the dumb terminal days... I'm used to systems which are missing common keys, and using combos (e.g. Ctrl+i for tab) instead. Doing that on a physical keyboard was infinitely more productive than an on-screen keyboard, even Hacker Keyboard.
