...and how do they enter information into the thing? does it have an on-screen keyboard?

maybe i'm missing it but to me it doesn't look like this thing has a keyboard. how is that going to work exactly since there isn't a fully functioning onscreen keyboard app available yet.

T-Mobile's Android(thats on G1) doesn't have an onscreen keyboard, may be this Android version has it.

there is a v.keyboard app.. but not one that works with the RC30 .. so maybe they are running one of the earlier version.. which im curious as to how that would play out with google updating automatically..

that would be a bum deal if so.. lol

this phone won't support the OTA updates. Sciphone will have to modify them kinda like we do.
