I didn’t have a Droid 1, but I heard it’s keyboard sucked.
I had an HTC Universal, with a keyboard that was so huge that it effectively masked how bad the keys themselves were.
I then had a Droid 3, which was much better and then a Droid 4 which was the sweet spot. I had Linux in a chroot (still do), and it was an almost desktop-like experience with the 5-row keyboard and the touchscreen acting as a trackpad. It was really good.
I tried making different side-sliding attachments, but these are always chunky, center of balance is always terrible and you need to use Bluetooth, which also sucks.
So I ended up sticking a Blackberry keyboard to my phone. I still wish I had a landscape keyboard, but this is the best I could come up with so far.
