Does anyone else have this on their 6680?

To get an apostrophe (') you have to press the 1 key no less than SEVEN times?! It's really annoying me now... on 'normal' Nokia's you press the 1 key 3 times to get an apostrophe.

Giving me thumb ache! :D

Its quicker to press * and select the symbol from there.

Yeah, but do you have to push 1 seven times to get to the apostrophe on your handset too?

Just checked and yes it is seven times, although I usually do predictive text. ;)

Thanks guys. Thought it might just be my firmware... but obviously not. Seems quite insane to me! While I am well and truly 'back with Nokia' after dabblings with Sony Ericsson, I did notice that, in terms of texting, basics were indeed more accessible. This apostrophe thing is just silly, though!
