Help We are about to lose our cursor keys

In the 2.1 update which is due next month, the keyboard has been changed so that the cursor keys are no longer there.

As we don't have a trackball (Like my old G1), or hardware cursor keys (like my old Milestone) this is going to make editing text a real pain. My fingers are not to size of a stylus - I cannot accurately point at the space between two letters to set the cursor position.

Even more important when I just want to cursor-back to enter a missed out letter.

Please don't tell me about the spell checker - It's not always on for particular fields and doesn't always work anyway.

So... Is there a way to emulate a cursor, or an alternative keyboard that does have cursor keys?
