Default Any way to make the keyboard larger?

Too small for my big fingers. Thanks!

Nope. Get a phone with a bigger screen.

I thought the keyboard was too small as well because I'm used to a physical keyboard (Tilt). It takes a while to get used to, but it's pretty functional.

I'm sure you have tried, but if haven't, switch it to landscape and the keyboard should be larger.

I'm disappointed in at&t for not picking up the 7 Pro that went to sprint since it is basically the successor to the previous 2 Tilts.

If landscape is too small for you on a 3.8" screen i dont know what else to tell you. Maybe the HD7 would be a better fit.

I think what he is talking about is how the keyboard does not resize in landscape mode to utilize the extra real estate offered - it really is annoying...
Samsung Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile
Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi

its not that I am choosing to turn into a Samsung fan - they just happen to have really good devices!

It does resize, but it doesn't stretch to take up the whole width of the screen. Basically, when you flip to landscape mode, your status bar runs along the left of the screen and your menu bar runs along the right, so it looks like there's some empty spaces on the sides of the keyboard.
