i dont see how this is any different from the people that wanted the sleep button disabled when the keyboard is open. all they have to do is not hit the sleep button right??

its not stupid at all. i guess you never make mistakes when u type but this happens to me all the time and it would be nice if there was a fix

I get your point, but that is totally different.

It is almost impossible for me to use the hardware KB without the top button disabled as the way I hold it my finger curls around & rests right on that button.

The KB period thing on the other hand, I never even realized it did that until I read it here......

DERRR. That would be in the middle of the words, not sentence. Your so funny.... NOT!

This was without a doubt one of the most overdue features for windows mobile. It was miserable going back and forth between BlackBerry and WinMo and not having that feature.

Testing is full of misspellings, deliberate and otherwise, why worry about it? I'm sure a solution has been suggested that works, but isn't that part of the charm? I know you are embarressed becuase you are a male teacher texting your female students, but don't worry, they won't think you're dumb, nor will the cops monitoring it all. (j/k)

Wow, the aggressiveness over this topic is a little ridiculous. I know exactly where the op is coming from. I have 2 TP2's, 1 has a very sensitive space bar. Sometimes when shooting a quick text, I'm not always using strict grammar. So this. happens a lot. So while I don't mind the. double space that much, sometimes. it's a little hard for people. to follow my texts if I miss the period HTC added. for me. I would love. to turn this feature off.
