This seems simple but I haven't been able to find an answer yet (searching this and other forums) :

Is there a way (or will there be in the future) to enable the (excellent in my opinion - so good I always use the virtual keyboard) Word Prediction / Suggestion feature of the Droid's Virtual Keyboard when using the Hardware Keyboard?

It doesn't make sense to have such an excellent feature that is available when using the virtual keyboard not be accessible when using the hardware keyboard.

I bought the Droid mainly because of it's hardware keyboard - I had an iPhone 3gs for work & with it and my wife's Eris , I always have problems entering text using the virtual keyboards (she doesn't) - but with the Droid I am really good with the virtual keyboard (so much I can even use it well in portrait mode).

The fact that I'm good with the Droid's virtual keyboard & that it has the great Suggestion feature (so I rarely have to type more than a few characters now that I have my custom dictionary setup) means I haven't even used the h/w keyboard very much - because it just doesn't feel to good to me - though if it had the same Suggestion / Prediction features as the virtual keyboard , I'd prob try to use (get used to) the Droid's h/w keyboard more - but the fact that I can't spell very well and the h/w keyboard doesn't cut it with the correction / suggestion - I simply just stick with the virtual keyboard (which I admit I'm pretty much used to enough to even forget about the h/w keyboard & possibly figure out how to move to a Nexus One since I have a week left to return the Droid).

If I could get the Droid's h/w keyboard to use the suggestion / correction avail with the virtual keyboard , I'd maybe start using it more making it worth keeping, so I'm hoping there's a way to enable what I'm looking for when it comes to the h/w keyboard (because canceling Verizon and trying to figure out how to move to T-Mobile for 2 phones when there doesn't seem to be a family plan for that model is gonna be a big pain, I want at least a reason to wanna keep the Droid cause knowing the Nexus One is already out there and I just bought the Droid and not being happy Whit it's h/w keyboard and smaller <width> washed out <hopefully contrast can be adjusted in the future> display ....)

Thanks for any info on getting the h/w keyboard to use the virtual's suggestion / prediction features.
