On screen keyboard problem in apps store - iPhone 4

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a 'secret' trick to making the on-screen keyboard hide on demand?

Ever since I posted a review of an app I purchased last week, the iPhone on-screen keyboard will not go away, every time I enter the apps store.

No amount of power cycling or fiddling with the keys the iPhone, will correct this problem.

Any constructive thoughts?

Thank you

Various, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

Thank you!

That 'fixed' it.

Still, I do not understand why the iPhone is missing a remove keyboard option.

I agree with this. The Blackberry Storm had the swipe down option to hide the keyboard and swipe up to make it visible again. I miss that feature on the Iphone and have left Apple feedback on this issue.
