Press and Hold key to enter a number?

Just read at Pocketnow how instead of pressing the "sym/num" button to get to the numbers keyboard, just press and hold the letter with associated number and the number enters. Read http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a...t=news&id=6498

Since this seems to apply to all HTC phones I'm gonna move this to the Software Forum for greater viewing pleasure. I know it's not software per se...however...

It's the HTC keyboards on the Diamond and Touch Pro. I saw this somewhere I think in one of the manuals or something. I was having to switch to the other keyboards for numbers and symbols and was happy when I found this. I think I still like Touchpal a little better, but maybe that's because I'm used to it. Now if I could just get it to stop reminding me that the trial of the full version is up and stick to the free version I'd be happy.

If you have your touch keypad on T9 for example, instead of doing the quick tap, hold it and yes, it's like holding it down for the speed dial. It's nice to know this since I was always hitting the symbol and number key to get to the numbers when all along, they were right there on the same keypad.
