Default Show me the letter I'm touching

Big fingers cover the entire "glow" area when you touch a key. So, I can't see what key i'm actually touching. Is there anything like the iphone/droid that will create a bubble of the letter I'm touching... INSTANTLY??

Mushroom, I have big fingers too.

My suggestion is to just type, with the Word Completion on, you will get it right. If you type so slow to inspect every key you press, you'll have a horrible experience.

Anyway, I am hearing from good sources that next upgraded OS for the Storm2 will include a 'bubble' as you call it, that appears as you type each letter.

YEah, I tried that suretype, HATED it... So I guess I'll just hope that an update someday puts this in.

Oh word completion.. except I find that if I don't pay attention to every letter, I have a lot of mistypes.

I'm sure its just a matter of preference but is word completion better than auto correction? I use auto correction and it works pretty well

I don't have a Storm, so please forgive me if this sounds stupid: Can you use a stylus on it to select the letters?

Not talking about Suretype.

Word completion is different. <<-- this works.
