phonecall with keypad

[timewaster]

Is there a way to make the keyboard showup automatically when you make a phone call? Its a bit annoying having to hit the "keyboard" button when i get those phone systems that asks you to type in numbers.

You must dial a lot of companies with IVRs but what do you need the keyboard for when every IVR I have went through only needs numbers to be pressed and not letters?

sorry. i didn't mean the keyboard. I meant the keypad with the numbers.
i want the mogul to be like a regular cell phone, where the keypad is always shown even after you make a phone call.

OH.......man come on now. Thats TOO easy but lemme nake sure Im on the same page as you. When I dial my number and hit send the screen does change from 9 digit keypad to the screen like below. But you can hit the softkey and go back to the keyboard so you can use the numbers to navigate through an IVR. It is only one step more than I think you want but your finger should already be there anyway being you need it to push a number selection.

Actually, I am interested in this as well but when receiving a call I want the keypad up. I use a service called GrandCentral and it requires you to hit the # 1 to accept the call... well bringing up the keypad is slow and just another step. Is it possible to make the keypad the default?

IDK personally but it is a good Q. IDK about over here but I do know that over on XDA there seem to be a lot of developers so that is where I would direct that Q personally. But I am sure they come through here also so we will see what else is said about it.
