Hi Eleanor,
No offence taken, just a correction.
All the best

Apology Steve. I should have quoted directly and no offence was meant. I
was so clumbsy and all over the place with the e71 and trying to write like
on a qwerty keyboard, hands too big for the phone and as I gained the
confidence I found that I eventually ended up with left index finger only
for all keystrokkes. It was just a genuine interest in your dislike of
these keyboards. I was so quick on the numeric pad and I am finding that
strange now when I go back to it, sort of lost my rhythm there! *smile*.
Now I must not go on or I will be told off by the Moderator.
Eleanor
