Well you got that right, it's being awfully demanding of my time these days.

Hmmmm...I'm trying to find it, that might work. The software keyboard on the iPhone rocks, it's very easy to use but that's because the iPhone is wider. Like I said I have an iPod Touch and I have no problem composing multi-paragraph emails and responses on the thing which is why I thought I wouldn't mind a software keyboard, but my phone is killing me.

I turned haptic feedback and the sounds off on it and that of course makes a big difference too.
That's encouraging. I wanna figure out what the problem is, it's very noticeable on my phone. I showed it to the guy at Best Buy who recommended the Hero to me, I just opened up the handcent SMS texting, started to write a quick message to my wife like, "Yo woman I'm coming home so you better clean up the house and put on something pretty" and the thing draggggggged, the employee told me to check and make sure I had all the updates from the Sprint site and agreed that my phone sucked.

Sweet...will do.

How does your ability to suck at typing on a full sized keyboard have any bearing whatsoever on my ability to type? Okay just kidding, I think your assumption is pretty safe that I do not type perfect all the time. I would like to point out that I never mentioned I type perfect all the time, so the relevancy factor in your statement registers at about a 2 on the pertinence scale.

I prefer landscape, I seem to make less errors.

Yuppers.


All right you guys have been pretty helpful thanks for the tips. I think it's confirmed that my phone has an extra chromosome or something, I get the vibe that it's not acting like the rest of your phones.

Later.
