Barring stuff like bluetooth keyboards, what do you guys currently find the best way to enter text into your axim?
My path:
- I first had a palm -> transcriber
- Then I liked the Windows CE thing better
- Then I found out my motor skills are good and tapping on the 'qwerty' keyboard is fastest for me to type emails.
How do you guys enter text the fastest way possible? I mean with transcriber I still write the fastest but if I make one mistake every 3 words I have to go back, try to fix etc etc which brings final writing time down dramatically..

For a long time I used the keyboard. Then I tried the LR one day and found it to be twice as fast. I spent about 30 minutes or so learning how to write some of the letters and after that my WPM is double compared to the keyboard.
Also worth mentioning. The number of errors and typo's did not increase when I started using the LR. My biggest problem with the keyboard was accidentally double tapping a key.
Give the LR a try one day. Look over the help file to see how to write some of the odd letters like: t, f, i, l and r. Those are the ones to remember.
when i had my palm pda, graffiti 1 was by leaps and bounds my preferred form of inputting text. now with wm5, i'm about middle of the road between on screen keyboard and block recogniser. i chose block recogniser since it's the unpopular choice
my handwriting is so terrible, when I write hello in transcriber i get xrlie

uhmmmmm - since when has Transcriber been available on the Palm....
Block recogniser on the PPC is a clone of Graffiti (like on the Palm), but Transcriber is a microsoft product based on the same recognition engine used in Calligrapher and licenced from Paragraph int. - the same company that produced the "cursive" recognition software in the Newton.
Anyway - Transcriber is the way to go for me.
