Hi,
I'd like to buy an Atom, but I cannot find any real feedback on how usable the device is with one hand, lacking hardware button to map on the WM5 softkeys.
Can someone report if it is possible (and easy) to press the on-screen softkeys with one's thumb?
I'd like also answers from Wizard/Prophet owners, that can compare the usability of hardware vs on-screen buttons (but please do not participate in the poll).
arg0: you can press the softkeys on the screen, and if you have dedicated hardware keys you can of course press those. If you can't manually assign the softkeys to other non-dedicated hardware keys, tell me about it and I'll knock some thing up to sort it.

hi!
What I'd like to know is: can you easily press the softkeys on the screen, using only one hand? (atom has no hardware buttons for the softkeys, and before buying it I want to be sure that one-handed operation is possible).
Thanks.
you can do it, but it's not easy because at least on the equivalent device (magician), the edge of the device tends to get in the way of the softkeys, which are like 7mm high. But it's perfectly feasible, and in the absense of dedicated keys, why not!?
None of these phones are particularly well setup for one handed use, but with some work, can be made that way!

vijay555,
thanks for the answer!
This is the first real user feedback I get about this.
I hope now that some Atom user will report, too.
I have been using the ATOM for the past 1 month and I have always used my thumb to activate the Softkey on the screen
it is much more comfortable that way
The ATOM is too small to use the bottom key (o2 media plus key ) as soft key (only key that can be reassigned in the front panel )
Also U cannot re map the Windows key as of now

Guys, can you not assign the Softkeys to hardware keys?
I could write an app to do that...

Thanks, good to know that that can be done.
What are the hardware buttons that can be remapped?
I read in a review that four hardware buttons can be remaped:
that should be "o2 media plus", "camera", "voice note".
What is the fourth? Power?
I was wondering, does the Touch Pro have hardware keys at the bottom of the screen, i mean those 2 softkeys you allways see at the bottom, they also have the hardware keys normaly.
I ask this because when you use a fullscreen program like Pocket IE in fullscreen mode, you can't access those buttons when there is no hardware key.
No, there are no hardware soft keys.
The 4 keys at the bottom of the screen are exactly the same as on the diamond:
Home (returns you to the home screen of TF3D)
Back (goes one step backward in what ever you were doing)
Call Start
Call End.

hmm that is disappointment Some programs really make use of the hardware buttons and i use it a lot with browsing the web and IE fullscreen.
You could just use the new fancy version of Opera that is with the touch Diamond already. It looks much better than PocketIE is ever going to be. I've tried it out on my old tired hermes but I don't have the hardware buttons for zoom so its a bit hard to use.

I do not really know what the panel where the soft keys are located at bottom of home screen. I use device to view appts and in EnergyROM, I would like to make this bottom most portion transparent, except for the soft keys of course! I could see the last two appointments without flicking the screen. I am willing to search but what is that called? I already have bottom curtain transparent. Thx!
I'm looking for an app that will switch off the LCD on the Samsung Omnia i900 (Windows Mobile 6.1) with a single touch (so it need to be large enough of an icon to finger).
It would be even better if I could assign one of the hardware keys to switch off the LCD.
I remember seeing such a app. some time ago, but can't find it.
Touch the turn-off button for just a sec and the screen will turn off and lock.
Moved as not software release..
The on/off button is under the silicone case and a pain to get to because it's so small.
Would love a program to re-assign this function to another key (pref. call end key).
I used to touch type on old candy bar and slide phones without having to look at the screen, by feeling the dialpad keys I knew what button I was on and using the T9 dictionary it was easy, I really miss this in new phones now.
I wanted to buy a dialpad phone with Android as a 2nd phone but there are none being made so I think they are going the way of the dodo.
There is no feesable way to touch type on new phones, qwerty keyboards have too many keys, haptic feedback is in its infancy, so I propose a full screen T9 keyboard for touch typing.
The whole display would be filled with 9 or 10 buttons representing 0-9 like a standard dialpad.
This wouldn't be the main input method, I think it would be good for it to activate by pressing the volume down button twice while in a text field and deactivate by doing the same thing. Hopefully it should be possible to touch type without haptic feedback when the whole screen is filled with only 9 buttons.
Let me know what you guys think.
why the full screen??? my htc hero has softkb with t9, fills half the screen. I never use qwerty. Works like a charm. you can get the htc_ime.apk and use that.
I havent heard of anyone being able to touch type on a touchscreen phone yet, ie writing an sms while driving without looking at their phone.
If it is literally filling the whole screen it may be possible on a 3.7" screen the buttons will be big, you are either pressing one of the corners, middle or sides.
If it is filling only half the screen it becomes a lot more difficult if not impossible.
