You can download different keyboards from the market. It seems odd to want to pay a buck or two for a keyboard but it makes a difference.

Since I've pissed away plenty of $$ on keyboards let me help you. I've downloaded Smart Keyboard Pro, Ultra Keyboard and SwiftKey. Of the three I like Smart Keyboard Pro the best because the button consistency is the best and it's easy to get alt characters. Also, I find the autocorrect/suggestions to be more accurate than the other two.
