For instance, I'm OK on the Sidekick keyboards (both the Sidekick II keyboard, and the somewhat smaller Sidekick Slide keyboard), but some of Blackberry keyboards are so small that I don't think I could use them comfortably. The G1 is larger than either Sidekick and has a larger keyboard than either Sidekick, and that's one of the things I'm looking forward to with this upgrade.
