i talked about them putting this in the software along with the 2.0 update. I'm very excited for it because i have missed the larger keyboard because my fingers always type the wrong thing... hopefully the new update will also allow me to type "Yo"... since the current software doesnt allow it

I never use the landscape keyboard. Granted, I do think it'd be easier to learn to type on it when you aren't used to anything yet. But once you have the portrait keyboard mastered, it's better. I can't stand how much space is hogged up by landscape. Can't even glance up at anything above it because there's only a few millimeters of the screen left to view.

Typing is much quicker in portrait mode. The only time I see this coming in handy when you're already in landscape mode and need to type, you no longer have to go back to portrait mode just to do so.

Lol... I find this funny as it sometimes allows it and sometimes doesn't. I figure it is because you write "to" more than you write "yo"

Default Landscape 4 me

I was in a dirt bike accident 6 years ago and lost a lot of dexterity in my left hand. When I'm on the web and get to type in landscape my thumbs are not as jammed together as they are when I have to type in portrait. I find myself typing faster and with less mistakes with the landscape keyboard!

A great day for me!!

Even if I got used to type sms and emails with both hands in portrait mode, landscape would be the perfect solution. I use it almost everytime on Safari and Nimbuzz. It's so much faster.

I will stay with the portrait mode. Landscape I just couldn't get used too.
