You probably should update to the 5.50 version of Talks for your phone. It is a free update for you.
You need to turn off predictive text on your phone otherwise you will need to press space bar after typing a word to select the word before you can arrow down. This is why the arrow keys work after you initially type a word and pressing right arrow then you can probably press down arrow. Signed: Stephen Giggar Skype: dr-phone.
