SMS/MMS Number Keypad on Keyboard

this changed a while ago - but starting to annoy me a bit.

prior to 3.0 or 3.1, when you selected the number button on the SMS keyboard, it loaded up a telephone style number pad that showed the corresponding letters similar to a touch tone keypad or the number pad in the phone app.

But after 3.0 or 3.1, its just the normal keyboard with the small numbers listed across the top. If you are trying to send a text message to a non contact - it's hard, or if you are sending a message to something like CHA-CHA or KGB-KGB, its difficult unless you know the exact numbers to dial.

Is this a bug?
