i think you have to download the iphone program to text i dont know the name

Where cna I download it from?

Chomp SMS in the android market

If you download the latest rom from XDA a virtual keyboard is included for everything.

Never really liked virtual keyboards but I make the assumption I will use it for smaller texts to not have to open my phone.

I didnt like chomp sms it was hard to type on. Hopefully they make something better. I think when the g2 comes out android will have a built in one because of the lack of a keyboard hopefully we can just port that over to our systems.

is there any updates on this? I am getting a g1 and I want the keyboard on the screen so i can send quick messages?

If anyone has the 1.5 update, it has the onscreen keyboard option

Handcent is another program that allows for on screen texting

Go ahead and get the G1. I am telling you one of the things you get with the 1.5 update is the onscreen keyboard. It will allow you to use onscreen in portrait and landscape. When you rotate the phone, the keyboard rotates with the phone and screen. If you still want to use the keyboard, you can just simply slide it open while typing and take over with the keyboard. You'll like it.

Hi, yes the G1 also features a touchscreen keypad.

it has an onscreen, keyboard, if you just got the phone, then wait for it to update it should within the first few days, of getting it, if its older go to settings it should be under text
