Matt is right the phone he saw me with the last time we met was running  
2.1.
It was about 18 months old. It stopped working recently and was beyond 
economic repair.
My "new" one is a Samsung running 2.2

I'd like to say thank you to Justin for the link. I have tried 
everything simple there and it still doesn't work.

There is the possibility of rooting the phone but I'd rather not do that.
If I want a decent keyboard facility I think a proper larger pad is 
going to be the answer at some point.
This just looked like a cheap possibility.

I rarely us the phone for typing anything long. It is just that I was 
away for a few days recently and it would have been useful
Although I did have my eeepc with me and it will tether to the phone.
