    I was using the music player today with .86 and when I switched over to my messages to respond I was greeted with this beauty. I think I recall seeing this keyboard during the .65 glory days but I am not sure. The awesome thing about this beauty is that it works exactly as it looks! Rotating to landscaped completely frakked the phone up as well producing the same keyboard but half cut off. Battery pull of course solved the problem.

    What amazes me is that there is a functional (only in that it produces text) keyboard within the OS that is completely useless. Perhaps some of the performance issues are related to the OS being filled with stuff like this. Unless this is necessary as part of the suretype keyboard.. I dunno, pretty ridiculous though!

    lol.... yeah I read one other person had this problem. Do a batt pull of course.

    Did you wipe your device before installing 86?

    there are too many letters in the alphabet any how. Since we text by eliminating many letters it would be nice to have a simplified keyboard.

    JOKING!!!!!!

    Wow... The forum totally decapitalized my entire post. Looks even more tardy now.

    The irony of it all is that the only reason I got a storm is because my 8830 took a pint to the keyboard and half the buttons stopped working. So for an entire weekend I was trying to right messages with only half my keys working. It makes for a real interesting time!

    Oh, I did not wipe before this OS. I did wipe before I installed .85 though.

    Yes, there are some keyboard issues in .86 that are very similar to those in .65 and .83 in respect to their individual issues.

    I've had enough of this .86 crap - keyboard issues, battery drain, LED craziness and my downloaded/installed applications won't show up. I'm going back to .85

    ive seen suretype in landscape before. when the phone lags as it brings up the keyboard in portrait, I turned it to landscape.

    could only do it once, when I reinstalled a new OS and it was loading itself up

    Two things:

    1. This offers you a chance of being imaginative with message writing. Discover the limits of this new language and be grateful that allows you to write in a completely drunk-style, even if you are sobber. This way you can understand how you sound when you had too many of that pints xD

    2. You should SOLO Onyxia by now, dude. Asking for help (or being asked for help) i no pR0 xDDDD
