New keyboard functionality! 2.2 Froyo

[k1ng617]

Sorry, if this has been posted elsewhere, but I found something out about the stock Android keyboard that I would like to share with you all. In the portrait mode if you slide your finger up from the keyboard and two extra rows of number keys and punctuation pops up, allowing you to enter in a single character w/o having to switch to that page.

I am on a Froyo rom so not sure if 2.1 has this ability.

Hope this makes someones day!

This has been posted before, and no 2.1 did not have this feature.

Hmm... just got my DroidX & updated to 2.2 and I can't get this to work. I tried both the multitouch & swype keyboards. What am I doing wrong - or does the DX not support?

That is because this is a stock 2.2 keyboard feature

So, does that mean the stock 2.2 keyboard feature is not available on the DX? (Pardon by newbieness.....)
