I installed SPB Mobile Shell 3. It doesn't have this problem. When you select the date and time field, the keypad simply stays full qwerty. You need to hit the "123" button to switch to the numeral keypad, which is fine by me.

I have to say after using SPB, I will never be back to TF3D. SPB is much more efficient. it makes better use of the home screen space. The operation is also more efficient, without the fancy but useless things like envelop email view. The only thing I will miss is the stock application from TF3D.
And thank God that giantic digital clock from TF3D is gone.

Also, the classic word completion is working fine also.
