The keyboard native to the smaller Fire has two screens, one qwerty, and one for symbols & numbers. Both the Fire and the iPad keyboards omit the four directional arrows, which is something I'm not pleased about, but have learned to live with.

It may be that my hands are just too large for easy typing on a 7" screen, or it may be that with time I could get used to it.
I tend to like the keyboard that comes with 2.2 It kind of like you mentioned. There is a ipad clone keyboard app I'm again not sure if these will work or not with the Fire.
