If you are one of the many people who don't like using the full QWERTY keyboard because the flip of the phone gets in the way, I have found a solution.  I really dont know how to explain this, but I have figured out a way to use it easily.  When holding the phone sideways, rather than leaving the phone's flip completely open, hold it against your hand so that it lays against your palm.  This way you can freely move about the keyboard and the flip will move with your hand.  If you don't understand how to do this I can post pictures tomorrow.    

thats a great trick  texting on this is hard i qwerty mode but you just made it easyer thx
