One question, is it enabled?

Go to Settings => Locale & text and make sure that Android Keyboard (or something similar) has a checkmark next to it.

there is no option on this phone for it under that address there is only the option "device keyboard" which only allows me to modify auto complete, capitalize and such seems this phone does not have it loaded on it

Tell me about it I assumed that they were the same platform so the software would be interchangeable I guess its because no one would buy the magic if the dream had both keyboards....anyway anyone know where I can dowload a good on screen keyboard?

can't you just install the keyboards found here as an apk? There is a thread started by funbacon which has a KB- key.apk and i know i have previously installed it as an apk (ie. just using app installer0- no special instructions)...... give that a go.

There's a bunch of virtual keyboards on the market. Just download one.

how do you install the .apk file without having root access??? currently there is no way to root the Rogers versions. I've read that AppsInstaller can install .apk files, but can AppsInstaller be installed on non-rooted devices? or at least Rogers ones (which are different than other G1s?)
