Which are you describing as having a Jelly feel? the TP2(never used it) or the Epic?
Would you describe the Pre as having a Jelly feel? what is your typing speed on the epic versus the Pre?
The Epic keys are jelly-like but also have a nice click when pressed. TP2 are hard chicklet styled with a softer click.
The Pre is jelly (and tend to hurt my fingers after prolonged usage). Typing speed was about the same... I was making mistakes on the Epic but it was my second time using it, only getting about 20 minutes each time. They were lame mistakes, like... messed up punctuation. Nothing earth shattering that would lead me away from the device; that is stuff that you chalk up to the learning curve.
The Pre keyboard isn't awful, but I loved the Treo KB for years (especially the Treo 800 / 850, which means I can work with smaller KBs) and the Pre KB was a downgrade IMO for those types of previous KBs. I see the majority of my SMS / Text input being done with the onscreen keyboard (not so sure about Swype, it was kind of a joke watching me use it... everyone was laughing at me as the rep took the phone and blasted out a sentence like the commercial) and use the hard KB for work emails.
