There is a problem with the iPhone on entering a “period” at the end of a sentence.  Evidently the period isn’t included with the rest of the alphabet, so entering a period and moving on with another sentence is an aggravating process.  Well David Chartier from TUAW  thinks he has an easy solution:

simply press that “.123″ key normally, type your period and then hit the space bar – the iPhone realizes you’ve just ended a sentence and are beginning another, so it automatically switches back to the alphabetical layout. 

[Update: It appears my trick works with any character on the punctuation/number keyboard layout: press the .123 button, hit a number or punctuation character, then press the space bar to switch the layout back to alphabetical. For some characters that typically have a letter after them, such as an apostrophe, the keyboard seems to switch itself back automatically without any interaction on the user's part; not even a space bar.]

Now I have a tip on using the period when using your Windows Mobile Device.  I have verified it on the Palm 700W, Palm 750, KJAM, JasJar, Cingular 8525 and my NEW Blackjack … JUST PRESS THE PERIOD KEY.
