Keyboard Slide Out and Manila Popping Up
 

When I receive a text message, I select menu, then reply. I then slide out my keyboard before the SMS window comes up. When the window appears, it's only for a second and then the phone goes back to Manila. Is there a way to stop it from doing this? I mean, I know I could just wait until the window comes up and then slide out the keyboard, but I'm too impatient for all that hehe. TIA
