I hope you’ve heard about the iPhone 3.0 OS set to release in June/July. Addresses all of that and more.

AGREED. HORIZONTAL IS MUCH BETTER AND A MORE NATURAL FIT. ITS A MAJOR OVERSITE BY APPLE NOT HAVING THIS PRESENT ON THE PHONE. IF THEY WANT TO SURVIVE WITH THE GROWING COMPETITION NOW INCLUDING PALM AND RIM, SOMETHING AS BASIC AS HORIZONTAL TYPE AS WELL AS COPY AND PASTE NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED BEFORE THE THE BELLS AND WHISTLES FEATURES. START BASIC AND THEN MOVE TO THE MORE ADVANCED.

Could someone make an app like this for texts or is there one?

Just to give a differing opinion, I’m typing his with the horizontal keyboard and i’m so much faster (I use both thumbs, like a sidekick) that safari can’t acually keep up with me most of the time.
… Way better IMHO.

I Agree with you there. There’s too much for the eye to cover in the horizontal keyboard. Even in Safari now I only use the vertical.

I don’t really like the horizontal keyboard. I always use the vertical in any app. I’m just faster with that. That’s maybe because I have pretty small hands that won’t allow me to get to the middle of the keyboard while I’m writing. In the beginning I made a lot of typo’s but I got used to it and I promise that if you practise, you will never use the horizontal again, because the keys are much closer to each other you don’t have to move your thumbs so far.
