This may sound stupid but I don't know so I'm asking...
Okay. I'm used to having a physical qwerty keyboard to type on. My first phone was a Blackberry Bold 9000. The service, or lack thereof, garbage and the physical qwerty keyboard's keys were to small for me to type on without hitting multiple keys (I'm 6'4) so I returned it and jumped moved on to the Android Revolution getting a T-Mobile G1. I got the G2 about two weeks after the release. I liked it, but I felt that it was missing something (namely a Faux-G connection in my home leaving me stuck with the ever-crappy 2G Edge connection). So I switched to Sprint getting an HTC EVO Shift. I like it; great hardware but I can't get the 4G signal that I'm paying 10 dollars a month for in my home for more that 15 seconds and that's after repeatedly scanning for it (F***!). The HTC EVO Shift slowly broke me into not using external input methods such as a trackball, trackpad, or d-pad with it's d-pad on it's nearly impossible to get to slide out qwerty keyboard.
Getting more to the point, I keep hearing EVO owners swear up and down that the EVO is the best Android phone. I played with an EVO, liked it and wonder how would one scroll up and down on text entered in fields that only show 2-4 lines (forgived me for being a noob if it's an easy question). To be more concise, if I enter 10 lines of text in a field that only shows two lines of text (i.e. OI Safe) how would I scroll up to to lines one through 8 of the text without an external input method such as a trackpad, trackball , or d-pad?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, I used the EVO as an example because the EVO is just like the Thunderbolt from what I understand and I have preordered the Thunderbolt and I really need an answer because I write a lot of essays using things like notepads and I can't see any way to scroll up in that said situation.
Sorry for the run-on sentence...
