Oh yes, there are those too. Those just have a visible screen and a stylus. The difference there is you are looking right AT the screen. Of course, since using a stylus is almost as bad as just a "pick and poke" method of typing, it still sucks. I just end up writing things out rather than using the soft keyboard when chatting on my DS (with people in the SAME ROOM as me :D).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
