Hey!!
Well, for the virtual keyboard, go to parameters and text input (or something like that, mine is in french) and check ''use the virtual keyboard''. There you go!
I was also used to the iphone's screen but I'm getting used to this one pretty fast! The idea with it is that you MUST press a little bit in order to selection something. Just test how much pressure is needed to be able to scroll, and don't worry too much about it, you will be able to scroll WAY BEFORE breaking the screen because of too much pressure.
I had mine yesterday too... Great device, isn't it?
