I started my career with CNET all the way back in 2005, when the (original) Motorola Razrs were all the rage. Since then, I've written about everything from consumer electronics to internet culture for outlets like CNET, Engadget and Yahoo. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of baseball, board games, tabletop RPGs and improv comedy.

Tactile keys
The LG Ally has a great keyboard--the keys are raised and slanted a certain way that facilitates easy and quick typing. They have a great feel when pressed as well.
