This is the same way we do contact name editing in FunContact. The capitals appear if you slide up a bit while pressing a letter. This is the same way we do contact name editing in FunContact.

The creators of this software did it by typing a sentence, seeing how long that took and converting it number of characters per minute. You could do the same too or you could see how long it takes you to type a text message of 160 characters. I do agree that the characters on the extreme ends are the most difficult to enter but I guess it also has to do with Eten's design. I too am getting randomly capital letters and I thought it was just me until you mention it. Hopefully the upcoming update will fix these bugs. Hi Gary

I've been trying Touchpal too, and mostly I like it. It does seem to capitalize letters randomly, so I wish there were a sensitivity control for that. And it's hard to swipe left on the leftmost and right on the rightmost letters, but otherwise I like it quite well. I've been using it for all my text entry this week so far.
