keyboard on home screen... (civic... read this...)
- Ok.
So if you really really insist that you can bring up the keyboard from the home screen... Just do this :
Set one of the convenience keys to Virtual Keyboard... And hey presto, you can bring the keyboard up and hide it with a button press...
Cheers

I see alot of people say to just swipe up from the bottom to bring up the keyboard on the home screen, however i can't get that to work at all! The only way i can see the keyboard is to hit menu and hit show keyboard. Am i doing something wrong?11-27-08 08:45 AMLike 0

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Storm. Hated it for the first hour but now that I've played with it for a few days I LOVE it. But, this is a feature I really am missing. I find that trying o get to a contact quickly is a pain.11-27-08 08:27 PMLike 0 - My interim solution to this is to map the "talk" key to open up the contact list and also map the side key to open the virtual keyboard. Then, I hit the talk key and the side key and can immediately search for a contact.11-27-08 08:29 PMLike 0

- Seems like some unnecessary steps - 2 button presses and a swipe with out any remapping
Phone button > Contacts at top of screen > Swipe for keyboard. If you set the default to contacts then it's just a swipe and your typing.

- Yes, it went back earlier this week. I was totally disgusted with the build quality and the closer I looked at it, the more I was dissapointed.
1) Cheap speaker grille sticky taped to the back.
2) Wobbly battery door release buttons.
3) Wobbly screen + gap issues (many listed on the forum here ex. dust, etc.)
4) Screen click when holding phone with shoulder to ear in a pinch.
5) Lack of memory (Flash of 128MB is absolute BS for a phone like this!)
^^^ Notice how I'm not complaining about software issues here. I'm all for being able to fix that via software, but the physical issues I couldn't deal with. Fix all of that and I'll gladly buy another in a heartbeat.11-28-08 05:17 PMLike 0 - 11-28-08 05:36 PMLike 0
- Hey, to each his own, but I'd rather swipe up a keyboard and have Dial From Home available. Say what you will, but it would just be more useful that way. After all, that's the reason it's available on other BBs. If you've never used it, you really can't talk because it's fast as heck to call someone with DFH enabled.11-28-08 05:48 PMLike 0

And if you're swiping up to have Dial From Home, then it's not really dial from home, is it? That simple motion kind of defeats the purpose of DFH.11-28-08 05:59 PMLike 0 - Ya gota activate the keyboard somehow. Side key, swipe, whatever. It doesn't have a physical keyboard, so I'd live with a swipe if I could have had DFH. Also, I don't really agree that DFH is useless if you lock your keyboard. It's still a lot shorter then bringing up the address book and digging for a contact. Fortunately for me, I have a photographic memory so if I know I've spoken to someone recently, I normally hit Send once, highlight the entry and hit Send again... this worked well on the Storm, but I do depend upon DFH a lot.11-28-08 06:30 PMLike 0

LOL....that's just called a good memory...not a photographic one...
And it's not really shorter. *,SEND, start typing for DFH. OR Click address book, start typing to find contact. Luckily my address book is one of my home screen icons.11-28-08 06:37 PMLike 0
