Number KeyPad issue on SG3

[stevenator65]

When I use Easy Money and attempt to enter a currency amount, it gives me a number keypad, which is part of the standard keyboard. On my old Thunderbolt it would do the same thing, but there was a period in addition to the numbers. Now I have to press SYM to get a period. I find this tedious. Is there a replacement keyboard that will let me choose the characters on the keyboard, or one that has a period available without pressing SYM?

Thanks for any help,
Steve
