Suggestions: Need a full PDA with thumb Qwerty

I currently have a Hermes. It does everything I need it to do except the slide out keyboard is, almost, completely useless to me. It is very seldom that I take the time to stop driving (if I am) and use both hands to type a reply.
If I have to respond to an email on the go I'll just call the person or wait.
Back when I used a Blackberry, I wouldn't think twice about giving a quick response with one thumb pecking.
I've looked at all the options that I know of and something like the Touch Dual would be great IF it had a full qwerty instead of the multi-key thingie.
The TREO or Q would probably work but I _really_ want/need a full Windows Mobile device. (The TERO or Q may be this and I just don't understand but I think that they use Windows Mobile Smartphone edition).
The HP 6925 (Cingular) would be a good fit if it was current Gen. In fact, there are several fits if you don't mind old, which I do...
Anyway, I would really appreciate knowing if you think there are devices that meet my need. BTW, I use AT&T as my provider but I don't mind switch for the right phone.
TIA

kAISER SEEMS PRETTY NICE! i WOULD GET ONE FOR SURE!

Loving Touch Commander!

I am not one to dig into the guts of my device and edit code. So a lot of the cool stuff that others are doing with their devices was not going to happen for me. I wanted finger navigation and quick access to call me contacts. I did a Google search for Windows Mobile Touch Navigation and there it was, 7th item listed.
I am running the free demo and it is totally solid, have not needed to reset device once. I will certainly purchase the product, it does everything I want it to and more. Here is the link to download. http://www.touch-commander.com/download-exe
I have had a few questions about the product and they have been great and getting back to me.
I just noticed that there are some new skins available as well, I am gonna grab those straight away, the Aero one looks sick!
Hope you all enjoy.

I will certainly purchase the product

If you live in the UK, it's currently being given away free with em... PDA Something*.. along with Resco Keyboard pro - all for the sum of £4.
* well come on there are not that many PDA magazines, go down to the newsagents and find it!
When I tried it on the samsung i780 last week, it worked like a piece of crap.

Is the Touch Commander for VGA Screen too ?

New skin for homeplug

What application/plugin/whatever is this?

I remember seeing tons of screenshots for this and figuring/hoping whenever I upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1, it would be there. Well, it's not, or at least not in Verizon's installation. What is this application or plugin and where can I get it? It is something I can install just like I've done with the HTC home plugin or is it something that has to be in the rom? Thanks, and sorry if I'm asking a question that's been asked a billion times before. I have no idea what to call this .

The screen shots are both from a WM6.1 Standard device. Do you have a Standard (ie no touch screen) or a Professional (with a touch screen)?

Professional (with touchscreen). So you're saying that layout is only intended for non touchscreen models? That sucks. I think that's a much cleaner layout than the out-the-box layout professional offers. Any ideas or am I just out of luck? Thanks.

You could browse through the countless number of themes and launchers available.

Guess it's time to find a new HTC touch home launcher. Thanks.

If I were you I would invest in Wisbar Advance Desktop. You could easily achieve this with it.

Never heard of it before. Looks pretty sharp, thanks for the heads up!

There is also a throttle launcher skin which looks similar to this. I think it is the windows mobile 7 skin. If you do a search it should come up pretty quickly.

Hello. I don't like the default keyboard neither, so I installed an older one, for diamond 1, but wich works quite well with diamond2. See it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506846 (make sure you downloa the wvga version). After install from the menu pop-up when keyboard is active choose compact qwerty. For xt9 in sweden I don't know what to say.
A full screen keyboard comes from SPB, here:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/keyboard/
This one is another fullscreen keyboard:

This one is also a big one:

What i can suggest is to test all of them only if you are willing to do a hard-reset, because keyboards really mess with your windows stability.

yeah but i would like the original but mutch larger xD

you have a Keyboard here that i used and u have big keys or small keys.
program Here:
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
and you can find the skins here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=68078
or u can use the fingerkeyboard 2.1:

Wich is the one I'm using at the moment, many languages suported, cut & past function, smilies and links (configurable) suberb

Lol...cause manufacturers only have to produce accessories for 1 device, rather than the (insert number here) Android devices that are on the market.
I don't believe that there is a bluetooth keyboard like that created for the Inspire/DesireHD. You could get any old bluetooth keyboard, but it won't work if you're running a Sense ROM (they don't contain the proper bluetooth stack), which is probably why no one's bothered to manufacture something like this, because it would only be useful to rooted users

DOH! Sence has a weakness... bluetooth stack... they rele need to fix it asap! lol the case reminded me alot of my old Tilt2 thats y i was interested.

I do wish that they had some sort of keyboard case.. This was my first smartphone and so I didn't care about having a keyboard or not, but I really really really miss a keyboard now. I guess the next time that I get a phone, it's going to be one with a keyboard.
