As a fresh watchingapple.com user i just wanted to say hello to everyone else who uses this site

One of these would be to add some sort of option that will enable a virtual keypad with T9 capabilities for texting or typing and maybe switch to the full QWERTY keyboard while in landscape view. If I’m driving and need to send a text with one hand that keyboard will make it extremely difficult.

I currently have “The V” from Verizon (unfortunately) and for the two years I’ve had this phone I’ve had to replace it six times. One time was because my front keypad wasn’t working. It was a huge inconvenience to have to flip it open and send a text message with one hand on the QWERTY keyboard.

I would imagine this being the exact same thing only even MORE difficult because there is no tactile feedback to feel where the keys are. So not only would I have to actually LOOK where the button is but it would be a much smaller button to have to aim for. It would also take me a while to get used to the touch screen keypad (if they made one). I can usually send an entire text message without even looking because I can feel the buttons and memorize which keys to press to spell what I’m typing.

Very clever keyboard. However the option to use a keypad would be very nice. The QWERTY keyboard is much easier to use in landscape.
