Hi Robin
I think I agree with you 100% on everything you say.
Improved keyboards on qtmoko would be just what was needed - not just for sm message, we need a good virtual PC keyboard as well. Apart from keyboards, with a few tweaks, Qtmoko 35, running from sd card is actually pretty good.
Unfortunately I'm also not able to program in C C++ :)
