Keyboard defaults to Phone?
 

If i open the keyboard and hit any key it opens the phone app...is this normal?

Also is there a way to disable it?

I don't know of any way to disable it, but yes, if you start typing numbers on the keyboard it will be as if you were dialing on the keypad on a smartphone. If you dial letters, it opens up the phone app and searches for contacts based on what you type. I think its kind of handy when you don't want to open up 'contacts' and wait a few seconds, scroll down, select a contact, then a number.

Well the problem is if i put any pressure on the front of th phone (sometimes when im just using he stylus) it hits a button on the closed keyboard.

Im just gonna return it and get a new one though.

Umm... I've never had that happen, your tracks for your slideout must be grossly misaligned. Or you just have REALLY sensitive keys.

I don't even want to press that hard on my screen to see if mine does it. I like how it defaults to the phone. uh, nice find.

My curiosity got the better of me. I pushed fairly hard, but being sure not to damage the screen. Nothing. Also tried a sewing needle between the keyboard and screen while in the closed position to see if pushing buttons while closed made anything happen, nothing. I need to get a life.
