I second that. Grafitti works fine for entering a few words in a diary,
but for entering longer texts it just plainly sucks.

Even with additional software (Docs to Go) it was still a pain. I
considered buying a keyboard but I found a Newton instead.

I have thought about selling my Palm, but I'll probably keep them both and
get BackTalk.
