Although what would one do if they had no hardware OK/center D-Pad button!
Is there normally an OK button on screen somewhere on the WVGA devices when selecting the date?
With the keyboard thing i know what you mean. You used to be able to go into the keyboard settings and pick language and whether auto complete and word suggestion/replacement is on/off etc. In both Akeo and Photon in recent builds this seemed to have disapeared. Infact i thought there was no way to get to it anymore, however the mentioned Alt-SpaceBar on the hardware keyboard does actually launch that settings screen, so that's actually quite good because at least there is SOME way of getting to it now.
Ive also found with the soft keyboard when i click and hold then release on it, to bring up the popup to choose between Compact Qwerty, Full Qwerty etc, there is quite a large delay/lag before the list comes up. Do others get that? Once again this has been happening to me on Photon and Akeo streams on both 23081 23504 and 23088 - eg ever since it changed from having a little down arrow next to the soft keyboard button, to being a press and hold on the soft keyboard button
