Let´s see what people think about:
Thanks in adavance and Happy New Year!
AutoSIP makes me anger!
Yep the autoSIP makes me anger so i decide everything write with the physical qwerty on my HTC Hermes... but many devices dont have it... maybe some has alphanumeric keypad like plain phones... well, in the cellphone i use virtual!
Resistive tech touch screen: Physical all the way. My Tilt still feels like it's taunting me if I try and use the on-screen keyboard without using my stylus.
Capacative tech touch screen: On-screen keyboard works just fine.
Voted forphisycal now,. because i have kaiser,. if i have unphysical keyboard device, i will choose "on screen keyvboard",. LOL
Spb Keyboard on my brand new Omnia!!
Phone isn't as bulky, and the gestures make it easy to type.

im getting a new phone but dont know what to get. I want something with a capacitive screen and it has to be pretty fast what do you guys reccomend. I was thinking omnia hd but from what I read no one knows if they are going to be getting updates or anything so i dont really want it now and no iphones not a big fan. So what phone do you guys think are good and fast thanks
The HTC Leo kinda sounds like what you want. It has the same minimalist form factor that the iPhone has, but it has a massive capacitive screen and a 1 Gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor, so speed is certainly not an issue. If you want more info, you can view pictures and datasheets here. However, keep in mind that it hasn't been released yet, so some info may be subject to change.
is it going to come out some time soon because i want to get the phone within a month
No, it will take longer to come out, have a look on touch pro 2 if you want a hardware keyboard or Hero, or diamond 2
Those are the best available
the only one out of those that i actually like is the hero because im looking for a capacitive phone but its not really an upgrade from my g1 i want something a little better.

how is the resistive on the touch pro 2 is it really sensitive. Would it be easy to text message with the touch screen
The resisitive is quite good, but honestly having that great keyboard I never use on screen keyboard
New here
how are you and how is your work?My name is brayden and nice to meet you guys.I am so happy to join in here.Have a good day!
Capacitive? The only Windows Mobile with capacitive is the upcoming Leo.
Then there's the other OS's.
Android: Hero?
iPhone.
Symbian: Omnia HD?
We are xda-devs, and specialize in WinMos. Which currently don't support capacitive ;P
dang that hecka sucks i had a nokia n810 which was capacititve drove me nuts lol. God so those are the three i have to choose from huh? well i guess it might as well be the iphone i already have the g1 love it but im bored with it lol.
I've been searching but have not yet found anyone working on a custom virtual keyboard. Go ahead and slap me if there is already a thread somewhere where people are already immersed in developing a new one.
I think a lot of people would agree with me when saying the iPhone keyboard is much easier to use (ok go ahead and correct by saying it is because of the capacitive touch screen). I think is has to do with the subtleties such as the slightly larger horizontal spacing and quite a bit larger vertical spacing between the keys. Quite possibly the activation area might be a lot smaller on an iPhone key instead of covering the entire graphical area of the key. I think just reducing the active area of a single key would greatly reduce mis-strokes!
Since I am not a WM developer, but only a dreamer, all I can do is give suggestions.
Maybe it is not worth the effort, but it'd be interesting to see what the minds here at XDA could come up with to replace the default WM6.5 virtual keyboard.
Thanks to all the XDA Developers...keep up the awesome work!!
you mean onscreen keyboards?
there are piles of custom ones for wm6.5 and all other wm's as they work for all of them
some are from htc some are from custom developers some who look just like iphones some got t9 some got swipe instead search away
Ok, could you point me to one like the iPhone? I guess I suck at using Google because I hadn't found them...
you may be thinking of course the HD2 is better because of its processor speed.
well do you really need a 1ghz processor because the rhodium apparently runs fine running the hd2 system. also the rhodium has a slide out keyboard. but i if you are thinking that i'm just taking the rhodium's side i'm not because there is some better things about the hd2 like the screen and the thinness etc.
Thanks
Well a lot of people form the rodhium go to the hd2. The 1 GHZ is really noticable with a touchpro 2 there is much more lag etc. Wich really downgrade the user expierce. On a rodium evrything run a lot slower. You need take care of the ram etc. In my opinion the 1 ghz it is not something extra it is really useful. For the rest the hd2 is more future proof. The populairity says enough why there are not so much tp2 users.
but it is a lot lot lot easier to type on the hard keyboard.

That was exactly my concern (and it was a big one!), but I finally gave in and decided to try the HD2 for the 2-week period that Tmobile allows here in the states. I had extreme reservations about switching to the on-screen keyboard...but after getting comfortable with swype, I can say that I'm at about 80-90% of the texting speed I could achieve with the hardware qwerty, and the ease of one-handed typing and the loss of bulk MORE than make up for that little bit of difference, for me anyway.
The HD2 also affords you sooo much more "breathing room" with the increased memory and proc speed compared to the Rhodium...it really is great to not have to worry all the time about installing or running too many things at once like I had to on my TP2. I still keep it around for tweaking/testing/playing, but I can honestly say I've never once felt the need to go back to it, even when it comes to typing.
But, it's definitely an individual choice...among those of us who moved from the TP2 to HD2, a bunch are thrilled with the new hardware, but many also opted to ditch it and go back. So...try the HD2 for a little bit if you have the option, especially with swype, and see what you think
thanks thats changed my view

I might also suggest browsing the HD2 (Leo) forums here too, just to get an idea of what different things users are experiencing etc
Hardware keyboard is more important than any faster processor, at leas on my personal opinion
My vote goes for Rhodium!!

Yes "orb3000" is actually the name of a secret government project where normal lab rats and copy editors were surgically enhanced with bionic thumbs.

Right, actually I,m the most advanced prototype of humanoid with 4hands
I take the Rhodium anytime. I'd rather wait for the new Touch Pro.
I give my vote to the Rhodium.
When my Raphael brake down (a bath in Sprite) i was able to choice between HD2 and Rhodium, I was able to test HD2 which move allot more faster and it's cheaper (in my country) and the rhodium who has the almost "orgasmic" keyboard, my choice was Rhodium and I love this phone.
I have both devices.......
Both are excellent PDAs........
HD2's advantage: SPEED.....very little lag. Having owned several WM devices I never had a device faster
Rhodium's advantage: Keyboard. If you been using PDAs with keyboard, it will take some time to get used to the HD2
Overall I have to pick the HD2.......
HD2 for the capacitive screen. Resistive screens are lame. I thought resistive screens were pretty cool when they were the only ones I had (XPERIA X1), but as soon as I tried a capacitive there was no going back.
Personally for me I type (barely) faster on Swype than I could on the Rhodium's keyboard, so I'd never take it with that extra bulk. Did I mention the resistive screen?
Psst.. in the stickies the Leo did edge out the Rhodium for HTC device of 2009.
if you haven't voted yet think about the price the rhodium is so much cheaper about 100 pounds

I had no idea HD2 has a capacitive screen! I guess I'm a little behind on that. My vote went to the Rhodium, mostly because of the keyboard and maybe some other little features.
I'm definitely considering trying out the HD2. Ithink I'll wait for more 1Ghz Snapdragon Phones to come out later on this year or early next year instead of switching to the HD2. I'm also hoping by that time the Android development for Rhodium will be at least close to fully operational.
In this day & age (21st century) you need to have 1Ghz Snapdragon or greater cpu!
Hi there!
I´m currently using shubCRAFT 1.5 and I can´t stand the keyboard layout. Is there a keyboard available on the Market that´s similar to that one from HTC for their devices? I mean the layout and the alternative characters popup by a long press of the key. Thanks...
I don't know whether this is a good recommendation, but I have been using this keyboard called TouchPal keyboard for a few days and I just love it to bits. With this keyboard, u can slide up on a key to enter capital letters and slide down to enter numbers and symbols. It feels much quicker than doing long presses. Now the thing that might stop u from getting this keyboard is that this is mainly a chinese keyboard. But, if U keep it in english mode it's just like a normal keyboard, if not any better and u will not see any chinese stuff at all. It's on the market for free. To switch between the languages just hit the gear symbol on the lower left corner.

Better Keyboard is pretty much the best standard qwerty keyboard I've used. It isn't free, but you can always get a refund within the first 24 hours.
Though I much prefer Swype to it nowadays.

Second that.
I've been using Swiftkey since the alpha stage and I've used Swype as well at times. I've completely settled on Swiftkey. Definitely the best Android KB IMHO.
i just got a htc trophy my first wp7 phone. i always own a iphone, what i realise is the keypad for wp7 is really hard to type in comparasion to ios. its the spacing between letters across and especially between each row. i keep touching the top or bottom of the other letter i try to touch. so is there any tweaks or way to change the keypad looks so the spacing are wider? especially between the rows.
Keep using it, it'll get easier. I think it's just about adjusting...

I can barely type a consistent sentence on an iPhone, whereas I fly with WP7. You'll get used to it. Not to mention, WP7's auto-correct is much better than iOS.
And no, there is no way to change the keyboard.

+1 ....Away better typing in wp7 than iOS or Android
Yea the wp7 is the best keyboard I've ever used. The autocorrect works perfectly. Just keep typing and if you make a mistake you can doubletap the word and it will show you suggestions or you can retype. This alone makes the wp7 keyboard vastly superior to ios.

I know everyone has their own opinions about various phone features, but the Windows Phone keyboard is so much easier to use than iPhone's. Not sure how someone could not feel that way. I'm not convinced that there would really be any sort of learning curve for it either.
i know this doesn't address the op's question, but i have to agree .. this keyboard is the best of any touchscreen phone that i've used, which includes numerous androids, iphone, etc ... it's so good , for me anyway, that i switched over from my iphone just because of frustrations with the ios keyboard.
