I borrowed a friends EVO with the 4.3 inch screen for an afternoon. Swype didn't save any time by the time you select the multiple words it finds. The onscreen keyboard was decent but in the end, I went with the Shift. I can portrait thumb type with one hand, it has the landscape onscreen but for serious typing, I use the slide out keyboard. I ended up getting the EVO shift. Getting pretty good at it. Came from BB a week ago. Size wise and 4G were perfect.
I would recommend you go for an extended test drive of virtual keyboard only in the store. Personally, I like the sense UI touches, but like some, lament that you can't delete apps you will never use like flicker or lattitude.
