Well, I meant modifier keys that require holding more than one key at once. I feel that's a bit different than shift on the iPhone, but I'll concede that technically even the iPhone's shift is a modifier. My issue is then with simultaneous modifiers (for lack of a better term).
I dislike Nokia's blue-number thing and I doubt I'd like BlackBerry's alt and sym since they sound like the Pre's orange and sym. iPhone's shift and "123" are just easier to use than my n810's shift and blue shift, and easier to use than my old HTC's shift, blue shift, control, etc.
It certainly does come down to preference. No argument there.
As a geek if I find something cumbersome or awkward I can almost guarantee that most of my less geeky friends & family will feel the same way about it though. I think it's a legitimate drawback to the Pre's tiny keyboard, and I don't even have large fingers.
