That's not perfection. That's being good enough to be the best, but given that it's the only browser with a full qwerty keyboard in portrait mode, that's not saying a lot.

Two, Opera's portrait keyboard has been brought up before in this very thread. And looking at your quote, I wouldn't be surprised if it was you who originally brought it up in this thread.

Three, there's already a QWERTY version in the works, case in point, look at the screenshots a few pages back in this thread. Looking at the project's website I'm not completely able to tell if it's actually been merged into the original's code, but the point is it's there, and honestly, it looks better (though similar enough that if Opera's keyboard is perfect for you, it won't be too different) than Opera's keyboard in my opinion based on the screenshots.
I'm not sure whether you're talking about me but I tried bringing this idea up in another thread in vain. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55731

I just saw the progress on this app for the portrait keyboard and I have to say I'm impressed. I didn't mean to say that Opera's keyboard is perfect and to be honest I don't even use it but I just liked that there was a good portrait keyboard.

Anyway good job on this app.. Thumbs up
