Please try

vim -u NONE somefile

and iT (ie. insert the "T").

This option brings up vim in a very plain condition -- no plugins,
compatible mode, etc. If your system persists in showing a "7" (not
that I know what a leetspeak is), then its certainly due to your
terminal setup. Can you bring up an xterm and try vim in that?
