I have also been bothered by the vertical typing issues. On programs that allow switching to landscape (qwerty) mode, I just do that. Unfortunately, virtually all 3rd party programs do not yet recognize the landscape mode. This creates a real serious problem. I spent about 20 minutes registering a program this afternoon which should have taken about 30 seconds.

I spoke to the developer who suggested that I deactivate the "T9" mode for the keyboard which eliminates this very annoying problem. The problem is there is no option for this. It is apparently standard on lesser cellphones. I have never seen it on a BB.

On the other hand, I am starting to get the hang of the landscape mode. I am up to typing about half as fast


UPDATE: .83 fixed all my keyboard issues. All work properly . Doing the keyboard screw adkust thing upped the speed a lot. Very satisfied now. 73
