SPB do a full screen QWERTY keyboard which should be fairly good (if you can type). Otherwise you could look at "Tengo" which I've not spent a lot of time with but it sort of minimises keystrokes.
thanks for the info and thoughts. i'm not really wanting a full screen and tengo says "it must be installed in the main memory" and since i'm using a 2003se and it's over 2mb there's no way i'd sacrifice that kind of memory. still looking.....
