So what's up with the spacebar on the epic touch? I absolutely love the phone, but when I text I always end up hitting the period . I know I could turn the phone to landscape, but I don't like doing that and shouldnt have to send a text or email.
There are several other free keyboards you can install, I like the GO keyboard and Touch Pal keyboard, both free in Market. There is Perfect Keyboard and Better keyboard also, but those are paid ones.
