Some keyboard shortcuts I have discovered.

 

Touch and hold:

 

 

  • ?123 to display a pop-up with the selections: Android settings and Input method
  • . to display a pop up window containing 14 different special characters including comma (In 2.1 comma key defaults to voice input (microphone symbol) but can be changed in Android settings)
  • Shift to switch to caps lock mode
  • Smiley Happy in default messaging app to display a pop up of other emoticons
  •  Voice input can be activated by swiping the keyboard from left to right (useful if you changed settings to revert the microphone key back to comma).

Correction: Swiping the keyboard to activate voice input only works if the Voice input option is selected in Android keyboard settings.
