Default Keyboard calibration

Guys, quick tip. This has really improved my text-entry experience, especially in apps that don't do the auto-correct like the browser etc..

Settings->Locale & Text->Touch Input->Text Input->Calibration tool

After doing this it seems to be more "in tune" with my finger

I don't have that Tool under Text Input; odd.

oh! I was half-right: when the phone is rotated into landscape orientation, the calibration options are no longer present.

weird.

interesting; I've long had the opinion that the word guessing was better in portrait mode than in landscape, but just assumed that was my fault. Mebbe not...

Confirmed.

Uhm... why does Android do that? That's a design decision I have no clue about but only Google knows the answer.
