Split view is implemented in search already. For now you can try baidu input, a chinese app which offers both split view and portrait qwerty. also use swype, I'm typing all my posts from my N8 with swype.

            By the way are you from sri lanka?

                really cant understand why these cp users are already updating their newly purchased n8 when they havent fully discovered its features and specs! i guess they are the ones who cant do anything good in their everyday life but holding their mobile phones? even professionals cant find fulltime to just live with their cps as they are busy finding ways to eat three times a day...and here are some people complaining and complaining of the specs n features of a very very expensive device! btw ive got with me l0 nokia cp units which i dont find time to complain about cuz ive first studied it specs, features and prices b4 i bought them... i got e52, c5, n5630xm, n79, n73, n6303c, n6120, n6233, 6230 n 1280..all candy bar not so expensive phones! have a nice day!

I also got something like a scratch in my screen when it went through a wrestle with my key bunch (it has 7 keys) and it simply wiped off. If it did on your screen too don't forget to post back.

                                        You have confused some facts. Symbian^4 is not meego, Nokia had two smartphone os symbian and meamo, meego is the updates of meamo and it will feature in Nokia's upcoming high end smart phones, a symbian device will never get updater to meego. There will be no more symbian^4 the current symbian^3 will be called as symbian and it will get all the updates planned for symbian^4 including the ui update everyone needs. Symbian os is now fully touch screen centric unlike the early symbian version five features in devices like n97, 5800, x6 etc, what all it needs is some bug fixes, fully usable web browser, split screen text entry with portrait qwerty and a face lift, Nokia are fully into it and we will see updates over coming months. Nokia may or may not drop symbian in their N series but it will continue to be their main stream smartphone os. Don't bother about others saying symbian is bad, symbian address the need of a large portion of users and it is the most powerful smartphone platform currently. It will get it's facelift soon and sure address the shortcomings. If you are really interested in what's going on in Nokia all about symbian website and nokia conversations are two best places to check.
