the hacker keyboard has the number pad (on the fn screen) in the computer (123 along the bottom) format.

The one I see is based on the Gingerbread keyboard. I suppose I could file a bug against Android for a checkbox about it (hopefully it would affect the phone app as well).

Now that I think about it, ATM keypads are also wrong. Probably the ones at the register at stores too (I don't use those for numbers, so I don't remember exactly). Little hope in getting those changed :( .

I have seen ATM keypads with both formats: 123 at the top and 123 at the bottom. And there are also those with a full keyboard, which follow the computer standard. So not everything is lost!
