Texting - SEND key & PERIOD. Are they too close?

Having been a keyboard person before returning to the Z30 (and its fine keyboard -where prior I attempted to adjust to the Storm 2) - on the Z30 I find I continue to send my text messages before I have had time to proof read it.

I know we can double tap the space bar and inherit a PERIOD - I would still like to see a smaller SEND button or maybe have the SEND button change color when touched - with maybe a second touch to release/send the text message.

Is anyone else sending their text messages prematurely?

I believe they could be better placed or designed. Maybe a double tap for enter/send to work option. I've hit send a few times by accident.

Similar problem with it being to easy to make accidental calls.

Go into settings and turn off the send key prompt.

or simply update to 10.2.1 OS and you won't get this problem anymore as the "SEND" key is replaced with an icon on the top bar of the keyboard so you won't get too easy to accidentally press it.

In 10.2.1. 537 this approach removes the SEND key and adds an Envelope icon along the top of the text message. Thank you.

Not I. I usually double tap space for a period

Wish this option was on BBM as I hit Send on kb to easily with my fat thumb.

I tried that and don't see that option. Not in advanced either. Is that available with 10.2.0.1233 ? which is what I'm on now.

As noted above maybe on 10.2.1 only?

My default was with SEND key on lower right.

Applying the settings noted above - changed it to an icon above the text box area.

My friends seem to have their default with the icon above.

Maybe mine was set to SEND in leaked 1925?

Anyhow - glad to have it above.

That's strange. I am running with the latest update, and my send is still right beside the period. It is above as well.

Tapped and flicked from my BlackBerry Z30!

Just the icon shown above the text box on my z30.

Interesting thing is I went back to the hub setting and changed my setting back so the SEND key is on the lower right - however the SEND button does not re- appear. But the icon remains above. Go figure.

Anyhow I prefer the icon on top. So I will not sweat this detail.

Put a contacts name in and when you put the cursor in the text field it will show,

Indeed - just applied your wisdom. Thank you.

Contact name added - SEND key setting to 'on' and both icon and SEND key appear.

Now I am turning off that SEND key setting and can now stop blaming auto spell correction for my pre-mature and poorly edited text messages.
