I remember with my old keyboard PDA (HP ipaq 4350) which had the keyboard in front + 320x480 screen, the keyboard would always be in use, and it really made it a pleasure to use the pda as a mini computer. I could launch apps with ctrl/alt shortcuts, perform all operations, quickly type out tasks, etc since the keyboard was just always there.

With the wizard, I only open it up for typing smses, which i think is a waste of a keyboard. (i'm not a heavy txter). So i was thinking, is there a way to use the wizard always in landscape mode? (i guess it could be done with mortscript?) or simply assign rotate to a button press (does anyone know how?). This way flipping the keyboard out would be much easier, and the extra bulk that is attached to the phone could finally be of some use..

you can change any of the keys around the phone to do the switch i normal switched the HOLD on the Voice button cause im use to a sidekick besides a MDA
