If you have android 2.2 you can do a long press of the menu key the soft keyboard will appear so you can use the touch screen to make and receive calls. However, if you have 2.34 or 2.35 cancel Christmas if your running a HTC phone not sure about samson because the dialer is not seen nor long pressing the menu key works any more. Your going to have to use the eyes-free keyboard as your main keyboard until this issue is resolved.
