Go to Settings > Text input and check 'Use virtual keyboard'.

Under Text Input in the Settings menu, you have to enable Use Virtual Keyboard. After that clicking on any text box will bring up the virtual keyboard.

EDIT: You guys beat me to it.

i actually have to say that for the most part i think the virtual keyboard is quite good.. i thunk its a matter of getting used to it. granted no multitouch means that key presses have to be very distinct when using the keyboard but for typing short msgs uts definitely good. loving the hard keyboard more and more tho. ps; im quite afast typer and i still find it ok, but not as good as iphone for sure.

Hey people.i've been working for 4 hours straight to get this virtual keyboard problem solved.I finally found the perfect solution.I'll go through it step-wise..
1: Open application manager and go to uninstall
2: Uninstall MSCIM or SCIM that you have
3: Open X-Terminal
4: sudo gainroot
5: cd /etc/event.d(There's a space after 'cd')
6: ls
7: After 'ls',see if 'scim' is there in that list that comes up,if its there just remove it with the following command.I'll just write it as '8'
8: rm scim
Now type '9' and '10' exactly as i do,
9: /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0
10: /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
Even if '10' doesnt work,taking care of step '1' to '9' should make the virtual keyboard work.Let me know how it went..
