Default changing keypad?

i just got a htc trophy my first wp7 phone. i always own a iphone, what i realise is the keypad for wp7 is really hard to type in comparasion to ios. its the spacing between letters across and especially between each row. i keep touching the top or bottom of the other letter i try to touch. so is there any tweaks or way to change the keypad looks so the spacing are wider? especially between the rows.

Keep using it, it'll get easier. I think it's just about adjusting...

I can barely type a consistent sentence on an iPhone, whereas I fly with WP7. You'll get used to it. Not to mention, WP7's auto-correct is much better than iOS.


And no, there is no way to change the keyboard.

Yea the wp7 is the best keyboard I've ever used. The autocorrect works perfectly. Just keep typing and if you make a mistake you can doubletap the word and it will show you suggestions or you can retype. This alone makes the wp7 keyboard vastly superior to ios.

I know everyone has their own opinions about various phone features, but the Windows Phone keyboard is so much easier to use than iPhone's. Not sure how someone could not feel that way. I'm not convinced that there would really be any sort of learning curve for it either.

i know this doesn't address the op's question, but i have to agree .. this keyboard is the best of any touchscreen phone that i've used, which includes numerous androids, iphone, etc ... it's so good , for me anyway, that i switched over from my iphone just because of frustrations with the ios keyboard.
