Shapewriter, seriously, no shift key?

Shift KeyWell, I was trying to enter a super secure password on my Droid tonight using the Shapewriter keyboard. I had no problem entering the lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation marks in my password, but once I got to the first CAPITAL letter… BAM. I was stuck. I searched and searched the keyboard for a shift key, caps key, menu toggle, ANYTHING that would let me enter a capital letter. No luck.

Is it really possible that this keyboard does not have a SHIFT key? After searching the internet high and low, all I’ve found are several comments stating that the shift was removed from the keyboard at some point.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY DO THAT?

So, looks like I may be flipping back to the standard keyboard for now.

If you have a Google Android powered smart phone, go out and download the software based “Shapewriter” Keyboard Application.

It’s a different way to type on your phone. Instead of pecking out your message, simply slide your finger around the keyboard screen and draw out your word.

After I got used to it, I noticed a definite increase in my texting speed.

Nice application.
