Okay,

Quick weird one

While on text messages, how do I get rid of the keypad/typing if I want to read long texts properly? (Iphone 3gs)

Cheers

David, I would try taking the battery out but it means taking the phone apart to get at it, not a quick solution :D

You cant remove the battery from an iPhone David, its one solid unit. The 'quick fix' would be to press the home screen and re-enter messages.

I always press back though

I don't get what you mean. Surely the typing window just gets bigger as you type, it does on mine.

O-dear my bat. pulls out,never had an iphone could you saw a door in a workmate to get it out fast then tape it up for next time.Or a maples chisel and a good lump hammer.How in the guide do you replace the bat. or you just bin it and buy a new one.One for the the yanks.No need to waste money then on insurance best buy a better phone.Is it shock proof,it has me.Its more than posh for you.Use it in the dark they glow well and hide from your mates.Glad you love it spotted one in a rspca shop,with no chip or tag.lols :D
