Help Landscape typing in Hancent

[cunning plan]

Hey guys.

I just tried the Miren browser instead of Dolphin HD and I like the fact you can type in landscape and still see the screen - so you can remind yourself what you are replying to etc.

Just wondering if Hancent has an option like this - I looked around the the settings menu but couldn't find anything. It would be good to be able to type in landscape without having to turn back to portrait to reference what the other person has put, then back to landscape to finish typing..

Anyone?

It could just be that handcent is crap. Apps should allow landscape by tilting the phone. If it doesnt allow you to see the screen and keyboard simultaneously, I would assume rather than this being an option (I mean who would want that?), its more likely poor design

it doesnt allow for you to see what your typing AND whats already there so it can space the keyboard AND the typing box out...but seriously how hard is it to hit the back key just to hide the keyboard for a sec? or even just put it in portrait mode again?

for me I'd rather the spaced keyboard and typed box then it be cramped and show EVERYTHING on screen at once..

I never use landscape typing. With the SlideIT keyboard i can just long press enter, which hides the keyboard, so i can see the previous few messages in Handcent.
