When I use Notes, Excel Mobile, IE (any editable field), OneNote Mobile (when I'm in a new note or editing a note) it does the same thing.

When I go into Word Mobile, the Today Screen weather app. to choose a city, the Calendar to make a new appointment, Contacts to add a new contact, the keyboard briefly pops up and I see the full qwerty keyboard (the one with the number row at the very top of the keyboard, vista-skinned), but then it immediately switches to the Touch Keyboard (the one with two letters per key) by itself. When I switch to Touch Keypad I still get the one with three letters per key and when I switch back to Touch Keyboard I get the one with two letters per key again. I don't know how to get the one with the full keyboard (the vista skinned one with the full number row at the very top of the keyboard).

When I go into PowerPoint Mobile and OneNote Mobile w/o creating a new note (just in the main OneNote Mobile screen) I get that full vista skinned- qwerty keyboard with the full number row at the top whether I choose Touch Keyboard or Touch Keypad.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that is the expected behavior. The only time you will see the full qwerty board is when entering a password field ( i.e. when setting up an e-mail account ).

There is a registry hack that will put the keyboard into full qwerty mode all the time.
