I know that I may be adding to the clutter but can I suggest that we keep the "thanks" out of new posts and keep on the topic of posting cabs. I can see this very helpful thread getting very big and very tough to navigate. Just my 2 cents.
I didn't see the Rhodium Keyboard Controller listed yet. This awesome app lets you assign an endless number of function to all of your hard keys.
You can find it at XDA
