Why when I am in Landscape and I select num lock isn't there a decimal point on that screen.
We have a comma, which is relatively useless, if I need to type a time or price or whatever I have to switch back to the main keyboard.


End of rant.

so you use a period more on the num screen than the keyboard screen? i am oppisite i think. but sorry to hear that is a issue for you and welcome to the forums...

No I would like to have it on both.

As I say a small rant but even so a us ability "feature" that aggravates me.

Worthy small rant ... I would like a period on that screen as well.

Nothing I can't live without, but I agree.

Ha, I was just thinking about this yesterday when I had to text some prices. Never thought of starting a thread about it, but since someone did I might as well put my two cents in. Maybe someone from RIM will read this and make the simple change, making this small rant useful.

Yep, nothing wrong with a small rant, I am just not sure that RIM will make te simple change.

hmm... my main kbd issue is that a standard phone keypad pops up for password entry in vertical mode... not a suretype kbd

I agree there should be a period, however you can still just hit the space key twice and it will insert a period in landscape mode

yup thats what i do too but it only make sense too have that button in both modes

[Vertioch]

especially in numbers... Entering a dollar amount (on a transfer screen while online banking for example) requires a decimal point...

The spacebar is a . on my kbd in landscape... Isn't it on yours?

Ah good suggestion I will certainly try that.

"space" "space" "backspace" for "."


I can live with that.

I guess the question should be then: Since the numbers keyboad is full, what would you get rid of on the numbers keyboard, ie "move" to the symbols keyboard or something.
