Oof. Just looked it up and it immediately gets my fancy. How was the learning curve? And any downsides that you now have?

It took me only three or so days to get used to it.

The lack of autocorrect was so refreshing that I just kept typing for practice.

The downside now is that, unlike the QWERTY to Dvorak switch, I've become exceedingly clumsy at typing on ordinary phone keyboards.

It's proving to be right up my alley. I switched to programmer's dvorak on the PC for exactly this reason; in the harebrained pursuit of ever increasing ergonomic efficiency!
I'm sold :) Going to try it out for a couple of weeks and see how it feels.
