Keyboard

Hello all,
I am looking into purchasing a cruise, but before I has wondering if anyone would be able to answer a simple question. Is the typing on the virtual keyboard hard or is it pretty simple. I had an Iphone, is it similar to this type of keyboard? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Sergio

Well, standard the Cruise comes with the standard WM6 keyboard (to be used with the stylus). But also with a keyboard from HTC which is already much better to use with fingers.
Next to what comes on the Cruise standard, there are quite some keyboard applications available, to give two examples:
PocketCM (http://www.pocketcm.com)
TouchPal (http://www.cootek.com/)
PocketCM can be customized and quite some skins and keyboard layouts can be found. You can compare this one more to the keyboard similar as seen one the iPhone.
Cootek TouchPal is also a bit like the iPhone keyboard, but uses another method of input (can be compared to T9, but different ). This should enable you to type quite fast.
You have to try them and see if you like them...

t9 Support on WM 6.1 Professional?

I just bought a Samsung Epix. I love it. But coming from WM 6 Classic (Smartphone), I am very much missing the one-handed input speed that t9 allows. I have been searching long and far for a good tool that works well on a square screen, and the best I could come up with - TouchPal - isn't very usable on this device. I don't think the built-in skin works properly at 320 x 320. Or it's just too complicated for my needs. I want something more lightweight - something nearly as simple as xT9 for WM 6 Classic like on my Tornado.
Are there any tools that put a 6.1 Pro device into "t9" mode so I can use the number keys and have full works auto-suggested for me? It's very hard to use a full QWERTY with one hand!
If nothing exists, I'll probably write my own SIP. I know HTC Touch Pad does *not* work with a keyboard device (it just acts bizarre!), so that's a no go.
Help!

Also like touchpal...give it a try!

I would go with Finger Keyboard created and developed on XDA as well

+1 for TouchPal
Not convinced on the changes they have made for the current version but getting used to them.

FingerTouch Pro definitely the best!

Have you tried Resco keyboard?

T9 keyboard size

Hi, just got a TD2. Probably the best phone i've ever had!
Just a little thing.
Is is possible to customize or maybe get a program, that have bigger buttons when you are typing on the t9 keyboard?

Finger Keyboard
Hi
Try this keyboard program at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
Just remember to read all instructions carefully. By doing that will avoid problems.
Download the "WVGA" version for the Diamond2.
Good Luck.
Aussie

Resco Keyboard Pro - problem with Kie's Grey Carbon skin

hi guys,
I have a strange problem with using this skin for Resco Keyboard Pro:
http://www.resco.net/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=18945
The keys are laid down on the screen properly, but the letters
are not. They are not properly positioned on the keys
There is a micro group of letters located in the upper left corner
of the keyboard !!!
I installed the WQVGA version of this skin on my Topaz
with WM 6.5 original HTC upgraded (from 6.1 to 6.5) ROM.
Could you help me somehow ???
Any hints would be great !!

Sorry I am not being of much help for your immediate issue... but I tried fingerkeyboard 2.1 and its much better than Resco's offering... I used to use that too with the same skin (but not on this rom). Keyboard / button layout is almost similar and I like how you can map buttons/shortcuts...
