I had an ssh client on my Treo - I found it to be tedious even with a
qwerty keypad. Josh or Ken could probably give better insight on that -
I haven't been using my Treo for a while. BTW - anyone want to buy an
old Treo 600 (GSM - T-mobile)?

There was a /. article recently about typos on the iPhone - they claimed
the iPhone had a significantly higher incidence of typos than other
smartphones with actual keypads.
