Getting another XV6800 replacement

The keyboard on my XV6800 has developed a defective problem yet again. Hence, I am requesting another replacement from Verizon Wireless. The last time this happened, I received a replacement which was defective.

HTC makes great devices, but what is it about the Titan keyboard that causes these issues? Spacing too tight? Dust? My next phone won't be a slider and it may not even have a hardware keyboard. I may end up with the Samsung Omnia or the BlackBerry Storm (although there are newer versions of each of these phones that will be appearing later in 2009 and in 2010).

Double letters with a single key press

I've heard others have the same problem. You press a key once and you see two or three letters (the same letters) appear. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? If the key is getting "stuck," then it's obviously a hardware issue. Do you have this issue with repeating key strokes? I've changed my "Buttons" setting and the "Delay before first repeat" is set to "Long."

Is the keyboard on the XV6800 poorly designed? Looks like HTC revised the keyboard for all future sliders, so I hope they've made some design improvements.

Changing the default keyboard on the XV6800 to a TOUCH keyboard!

I mainly use a FREE touch keyboard called PCM keyboard on my XV6800 (AKA Mogul, PPC 6800, HTC Titan). It mimics the iPhone keyboard by providing you with instant feedback of the key that you're pressing. It's great to use because you can slide your finger around the screen until you see the key that you want, and then when you let go of the screen, that letter gets selected.

Every time I reboot my XV6800, it defaults to the original keyboard. So, to ensure that it always defaults to PCM keyboard, I use a FREE utility called SIPchange. Works great!
