The person who has requested this, is thinking the same thing as I am.

The keyboard on the 9900 is brilliant, first class for typing conversations.

What is also does okish is typing numbers - however, that photo of the old BB with the virtual keyboard is genius.

I just went to dial a number of sometime (a shop not in my contacts) as it's slightly fiddly. I thought, "is there an option to "show numeric keypad" on screen, to switch from Dialed, to Keypad. Then, for us with big fingers, you can tap away on the phone soooo easily.

I do accept the screen isn't quite tall enough, but if it was similar to that image, it would be great. Simple to use. And more of a pleasure to dial.

I don't agree with him about "what if I am in a dark room", as someone else has rightly said, the keypad is lit! I just find it easier to type numbers on a bigger keyboard.

Try your home phone, and set the buttons which are probasbly around 8-10mm square..... to 4mm square and make a lot of 'manual' dialed calls.
You'll find it not so easy.

So "here here" to the person who posted it.

If you want an app just for dialing a number, look at easyDial in app world. Does what it says it does on the tin. Great little app

mmmm... thats interesting, ill sign up for that option too!!!

And don't get me wrong, I LOVE my 9930 keyboard!!!!

Yes, the idea of having a virtual keyboard on the 9900/30 for phone dialling would be great
Maybe we'll see this happen in future uppdates ??? The virtual keyboard thing is in Options just not operational - yet ....

So why doesn't my steering wheel have a screen on it so I can see where I'm driving? Because I can look outside the windshield.

A virtual keyboard on a physical keyboard phone is absurd.
