Can it be that three of the luckiest people in the world like to post on treocentral?

Unfortunate iPhone bug...
Found a weird (and unfortunate given my user name) iPhone bug. Looks like its a bug with their word/typing check function since it doesn't offer an alternate word...
Try typing my user name in any application without using the delete key: "krsnet"
Good luck with the "t"...

Try sliding your thumb over to the T rather than letting up when the R is highlighted.

Still doesn't work. Not a bug per se, but unfortunate for you.

Sliding over the "t" doesn't work and reveals that you also couldn't select E, A, or D. Obviously tried that first...
None of the iPhone's at the Apple store worked either so I'm guessing there's none work...
I think it does qualify as a bug in the spell check function - when it detects a word it doesn't recognize, its supposed to offer a guess at the real word...not so here. I can't imagine a case where they would need to truly prevent the press of a letter key like this so its gotta go into the 'bug' category - not that I really want to debate semantics.
You should enter the krsnet typing challenge then. Apparently some people can, and some people cant.

Surur, you are above this......please say so.
who in the fak really cares if you cannot type KRSNET without hitting the delete/backspace key?
that is just plain stupid.
Everytime I disagree with you, you claim I'm giving you a "hostile reply". Maybe it's all in your head. Thanks for being happy for me though.
"Is that all right with you mikeC, or do you know my needs better than I do?"
That is hostile, whether you admit or not. Not in anyone's head, but rather your words on the page.
You're welcome on being happy with it.
I would think krsnet does.
Funny how inflexible the keyboard is, isn't it (thats the real point BTW)

Man, that is a bizarre bug. It actually will not let me type that "T." If you drag your finger left to right across the T, it even skips it. Very very strange. I don't know of any other situation where it disables a key. I wonder if this is a clue to some easter egg or something.
(ps: whatever the heck it is doing, happily i never have actually had to type "krsnet"
I guess I'm just lucky then, I have no need to type in the word "krsnet". However, if I ever need to, and it becomes a big problem, I will quickly demand my money back from apple. Surur, you are now scraping at the bottom of the barrel.
*EDIT* I tried it and it works. I can type krsnet!!!! I feel like I just won the lottery. I now know I made the right choice when I bought the iPhone.

or maybe its just a simple question. Why are you so hostile? Anyway who cares, I can type "krsnet". All is right in the world.
Wait, I spoke to soon. I can type krsnet in the notepad app, but I cannot in the email app. When I find the box, it has to go back. In the meantime, I will just type krs. when I need to type in krsnet. It's a terrible work around, but what are you going to do.

Whatever. SAND.
no idea what sand means, besides the little pebbly stuff you find at the beach. Does this have anything to do with the weird "surfer" term you been using here when you have no reply to somebody else's post.
SALT!!!!!!
my work around....hit the delete key then type T
so fakin silly....i still cannot believe that was posted here.
ISo many work arounds, isn't there...
Surur
I cannot believe you are complaining about a workaround for typing a word that only one person in the world seems to care about.
Is this all you got today?
