I disagree. I have one and the keys require a pretty large amount of actuation force, or the domes are just degraded badly on mine.
I like the Jornada ones a lot better even if the keys are smaller.

Oh man, those Sony Ericsson phones were god-tier, probably the most god-tier dumb phones....I had a W810i which wasnt even the best one they made. Bluetooth, IR, FULL SIZE Memory stick, 2Mpix Camera with dedicated button and autofocus. I flashed the Sony factory firmware on it, which got rid of the Cingular bloat and allowed you to even rice it a bit through Flash-lite Themes. Oh and it had a 1500mah battery, which when it was new would go for up to 2 fucking weeks depending on how much you talked. You had to actually try to kill the battery in less than week.
