Ok, i have a kinda random question. WHY can't you use the iphone sideways when sending an email? It seems to me that typing out an entire email would be a lot easier if you had the larger keypad.. or is my phone not working correctly?
 
Your phone is working correctly.

As for why this is, we don't know. But we can guess - they didn't get to it yet. No great mystery there.

Everyone wants a horizontal keyboard in ALL typing situations, and I can't really think of any reason why Apple would refuse to offer it, so it stands to reason that it's just low on their list of priorities.
 
I actually prefer the smaller keyboard because I have small hands, but I want to READ my email on a horizontal screen. Some emails come in with tiny, tiny print and when I zoom in, I can't see many words and have to scroll back and forth. i hope that we get these included in an update before too long!
