Change the default Blackberry Storm keyboard

On the Blackberry Storm you don't get the full QWERTY keyboard when the phone is held in portrait mode, you can a smaller version of the keyboard. There are two versions of the smaller keyboard, and you can choose which one you get when you are in portrait mode.

To set this go to device options and select Screen/Keyboard. The setting to adjust is called Portrait View Keyboard. You can either select the SureType keyboard which has two letter per key ala the Blackberry Pearl, or you can select a more old-school multi-tap keyboard.

Once you've made you selection, hit the Menu key and select Save from the menu.
