Touch Pro2 International vs Xperia X1i vs Touch Pro1 International (Keyboard Contest)

Let's vote for the best keyboard.

I voted for Touch Pro2 Keyboard.
The best for my big fingers.

I voted TP2, because I am not a fanboy. Touch Pro 2 has the best keyboard I have ever used in a mobile device.
Xperia is second and TP is third. I know many would not agree, but it is down to personal preference in this case. I don't like the TP keyboard.
P.S. TP =/= Toilet Paper

TP2 for size.
X1i is a little too small for my big fingers.

I dont know about the rest of the forum but i have only used the Xperia from that list and im sure most people havent used all 3 too - anywyas i'll still vote Xperia since its all i have

Touch Pro2 is hands down the best keyboard I have ever used on any handheld device. I love it.

I think you mayyyy find this vote a bit skewed, considering it is located in the TP2 section, and most of us are in love with the mobile, its screen, keyboard and its sheer shininess =)

That's why I create the same exact topic in 4 different forums. Haha go look for it if you're good at searching.

Yeah, I know it´s not on the list and device is old and bulky, etc but a fact is a fact:
The best keyboard in a device is this one:

Universal: A device from 2005, and to this date there is no better keyboard in the market!
Have a comparative pic:
p.s I voted for TP2 (As no Universal was included)
ps II to OP, you should include Universal on voting! also the other keyboard models as Dream, Blue Angel, Athena, etc. so this way your poll can reflect really the best one! just a sugestion

Should have also included the Universal in this poll.
The Uni was by far the best keyboard ever, that I have used.
The Rhodium comes second for me.

Got to agree about the Universal keyboard. It was fantastic, and remains one of the best IMO.

The same here. Never tried TP1 or 2.

Merged the 4 threads into one in the "general" forum.

right! no offset keys, no ctrl keys, no led indicators. Keyboard is subpar.

I've used all 3 and i really think the xperia keyboard is a piece of junk. I must say when i held the tp1 it just felt right where as the tp2's keyboard feels large. This might only be because i'm coming of the xperia but it feels strange in hand and not as comfortable as the tp1. I think the tp2 keyboard is better though. I just think my previous phones dictate my feelings towards the next. Kinda like presidents. Great ones always follow horrible ones.

I've only used the X1 and TP keyboards and I must say..i VERY much prefer the Touch pros...
as a side note I think the giant space bar on the X1 is a waste of space... and I dislike the lack of arrow keys/function keys etc

I think the giant space is very good, as I got a phone with a smaller space and it's annoying.

Whats your FAV phone design!!!

Hi
I realized that there has been tons of thread about fav apps, games, phones,etc. but never about phone design. I have realized that I am not happy with my phone design, as a matter of fact there isn't any phone in the market of my design. So I have decided to draw it and talk about it (since I cant make it, lol). I am pretty sure others in this forum have prefferences for design.
DPAD/Track ball
I have moved to Android recently, bought a x10. After x10 came out I have started to note that a lot phones recently don't have dpad or track ball. I guess since multitouch screen came out they started to take out the dpad and track ball. You can see it in all of the new phones; just to name a few
Acer Liquid
Motoroi
Nokia X6
Samsung Captivate
HD2
TG01
Some HTC phones still have dpad though. It might seem very useless if you think about it. Now if you think it is useless try this, start typing and make a mistake (a wrong alphabet) but keep on typing then, try to come back to that alphabet. See how hard it is! When you are trying to go that alphabet, you tap on to the word but the cursor doesn't fall on that right place. Now if we had a dpad or track ball it would have solved the problem. I can totally understand why companies are recently avoiding those. I believe it is because, if they have to put a track ball or dpad it take up more frontal area therefore less area for screen (otherwise the phone will become pretty big). At the same time track ball and dpad both are big mechnical system so it takes volume too.
In motorola Backflip they really had an itelligent design. The trackpad in the back, I think other phones should do that too. Imagine nexus without the bottom part. It becomes small!!!
BUTTONS
Recently buttons are becoming touch-sensetive buttons. Why touch button?? They have no physical feedback! Well I understand it takes up more space and size to acomodate physical button, especailly when you have to put three or four. But there could be better way to solve this. Say you acomodate one button and four touch button. Now when you put your finger on top of a button, the LDR sences your finger then when you depress it then it fires. So it will be a plate of LDRs on top of a physical button. Check the pics for better understanding.
So anyone else has other designs??

I love the HD2 design, the pure simplicity and utility of it. Although the Nexus One is the most beautifully designed phones out there I perhaps slightly prefer a bit more industrial look.
Now if only I could snug a N1-type glowing trackball somewhere in there...

My phone has to have a portrait physical qwerty keyboard and a touchscreen, so either a front facing keyboard touch screen candy bar or a portrait touchscreen slider.

This is my favorite design, shame nothing continued that unbeatable line
Also Like Leo, Rhodium and Maple designs

I know I'll be going to hell for saying this, but the design of the iphone 4 is my favorite thus far. I noticed that a lot of smartphones out nowadays (HD2, incredible, EVO, droid, droid x, iphone 3g/3gs, etc etc) really don't have a simplistic and elegant look to them. Something always gotta stick out, odd lines, little chin, curvy body, etc. But with the iphone4, everything is flushed. It doesnt wobble, nothing is really sticking out where it shouldn't and most of all, it looks very elegant and "high-end." Sure I couldn't care less about the iOS, but I have to give props to the designers and the manufacturing processes to achieve that level of end result. I just wish HTC would pull their collective heads out of their asses and start going industrial with their design. Looking at their leaked 2010 roadmap from the beginning of the year, it seems like all their phones have the same shell but just different internals.
EDIT: of course, I'm talking about the overall aesthetic and not radio antenna placement ;]

I'm going with a slide-out keyboard.
The black-berry design with they keyboard under the screen, the keyboard is too small and hard to use.
I love my Tytn II, the newer phones with the Snapdragon CPU would be great.
Touch Pro 2 design, same idea.

You're not alone. There's so many Android phones coming out, but I have yet to see one that is able to match the aesthetics of Apple or even Nokia. I really wish there was an Android phone that looked as good as the iPhone 4.

X10 actually looks pretty damn good, up untill you put it in your hand and realize that it is made of cheap plastic. But asthetics is not everything, we need to make them usable too.

I think the Tilt2 would be ideal if they replaced the stupid slider bar with a d-pad and then made it slide the same way as a Palm Pre so you could one'hand text with buttons.

Game Grip for Epic 4G!

So after thinking about emulator options and how the Epic 4g is gonna be perfect for all types of emulators, I discovered that GameGrip, has a phone request form where you can ask for which device they should make Gamegrips for!

GAME GRIP REQUEST
I requested black with blue buttons! I think everyone should request them make a Epic 4g model! *winkwinknudgenudge*

This is just what I was looking for, I totally forgot about the Game Gripper and it seemed like a pretty awesome idea when the first one for the Droid came out. I went ahead and requested they make one for the Epic 4G, black and blue as well.

i replied too
i put black and red, but black and yellow makes a lot of sense too

I'm still a bit skeptical on how well the gamegrip works, but for about 14.99 i think its worth trying!

I hope they make a gamegrip for the Epic, games would be even more aweosme if they made one. I also put in for Black and Blue.

cool device. filled out a request form too.

Cool But not really needed for the epic considering it has a keyboard.
Too bad they couldnt implement one some how to work on phone with no keyboard.
I cant wait to get the epic.

These are meant specifically for phones with keyboards so you don't press the wrong buttons. It looks simple and sweet and not ridiculously priced.

Someone was asking about the Gamegrip on a Droid Incredible. Do you realize how ridiculous it would be to put a gamegrip on a touchscreen? It would cover up the majority of the screen.
Yeah, these are definitely only for phones with keyboards.
Just saw the video review on the Gamegrip for the N900, and it looks awesome!

They should put these things on the new iPhone, could you imagine the headlines?
Game grip kills death grip, and plays games too.

I have requested one as well, black and green =) I ask anyone with a minute to spare to do so as well, even if you yourself wouldn't get it. You'd be helping those of us who would like to have one =)

Please request GameGripper for Epic with XBOX color scheme. Its the best!

Color requested isn't as important as the fact that you request the EPIC 4G.
When they release gamegrips for different phones, you have the option to choose the color/buttoncolor when purchasing the grip!

Submitted a request to help further your cause...and possibly mine...

Submitted a request

I submitted a request as well but I also asked if they could possibly add 2 more buttons since a decent PS emulator is available on the Android Marketplace now. Atleast I've heard it was decent.
Figured since the Epic has a huge keyboard they might be able to fit 2 more buttons on there. Doesn't look like the current GameGripper has enough buttons for playing PS games with all the buttons. I know placement will be weird but some PS games need R1, L1, R2, and L2. I doubt the power button and camera button can be mapped as playable buttons in the emulator.
EDIT: Saw a YouTube video of someone using the GameGripper on their Droid and they were able to map the camera button and volume buttons as shoulder buttons in an emulator.

On ALL of the emulators (psx4Droid, gameboid, gbcoid, snesoid) you are able to map ALL buttons on the phone except for power & home buttons.
Back on my Nexus, I used the volume keys, and the capacitive keys as start/select buttons for emulators.

It maybe different from phone to phone, but on my hero i can use the home and power button. I really hope that we could use some of the phone buttons for the l/r buttons on the epic

Oh really?
I was thinking that the 4 home/back/menu/search buttons on the sides of the keyboard would work good as the L1/L2 & R1/R2 triggers.
TBH, until the psx4droid is coded a bit better, i'm probably gonna be sticking with old school GBA and SNES emulators.

HTC New Eden Project

--

This screen.
1GB+ RAM.
Dual-core CPU with decent graphics performance (if need be, look to suppliers other than Qualcomm) - that screen will need a fair amount of processing clout to back it up.
A big-ass battery.

Nice looking

For me:
I'd like a device where I wouldn't have to touch the screen to scroll. Maybe a reactive sensor built into the case that I could slide my hand and scroll the screen. Not a wheel or buttons, but something integrated into the screen or case. See the red line in the pic.

too much wasted real estate on your design.
Use the HD2 as a starting point and improve from there.

--

Your concept 2/HD3 one is what I'm talking about. Very industrial and sleek. Though for the capacitive keys at the bottom, I think a better design would to get rid of the bottom row, and instead, incorporate a hardware button on the side to toggle the onscreen/virtual buttons (menu, search, back, etc). Of course, having a realistic design is one thing, but for a concept, I think the future will do away with front buttons for a more cleaner look and thus having an effective full size screen from corner to corner with 3-4mm of bezel in between. I mean, looking back 5 years, you have hard keys gradually evolving into soft keys and it's only a natural evolution to have no keys at all. Virtual keys would be the new thing.

--

exactly! Though I know it's not for everyone, but if the intention of the idea/concept is to create a high-end smartphone for the future, everything has to be big, sleek and seamless. For instance, god forbid if I say this, but the iphone4 is heading toward that direction. You have a phone that doesn't have odd buldge from the camera or a hump in the back for the gps and whatnot and it's just a wonderful design sans the screen size. Rumor has it that Apple might be getting rid of the round button at the bottom and will probably utilize some sort of switch on the side to toggle the onscreen buttons/menus.

That's something I've pondered about from time to time, except I envisaged a secondary layer to the screen using some form of transparent LCD/OLED tech that the function buttons would appear on, so that they were completely disconnected from the main screen and would still function if, say, an app had frozen, in the way that proper buttons continue to work even if what's happening on screen has started to mess up.
There'd still need to be some hardware buttons other than the power button though, otherwise how would we boot into recover/bootloader etc?

Well, in that case, can't we do one better than Apple?
Especially if it's just going to be a concept...
Imagine a phone with completely rounded-off edges, kinda like two iPhone 3GSs placed screen-to-screen, only thinner of course.
You could have the screen cover the entire front half of the phone, including the front of the the curved areas. That'd be truly seamless.
Of course, that's just if you're limiting yourself to a semi-conventional design.
Given the potential advances in flexible displays in the next couple of years as well as recent breakthroughs in creating flexible circuitry, future smartphones could be very different indeed...

Well,I for one would like to see two high-quality stereo speakers,probably on top and bottom.That would be a true multimedia phone for me.
One more thing,to help out the gamers,would be something like a small,thin slide-out glass touch sensitive pad,on which the necessary buttons would appear for each game(like joysticks).
What I thought of many times would be the potential of a carbon-fibre-body phone.That,along with a scratch resistant glass(like gorilla glass) would finally make the phone much more sturdy and light.Although I don't know how it would fare with heat...
A nice addition would be a small "air pipe" that would go from top to bottom,with some special membrane that will let air go in and out but not water etc.That would help with the aformentioned heat problems!
Also,if it's not too much,a small projector on the back would be super cool.Although I don't quite place that in the mandatory section.
Other than that,the latest,most powerful hardware would suffice!Along with some new-technology battery to power the whole thing of course!
Maybe I'll come back with more,that's just a tiring days rant!

What I'd love is a dual-core landscape QWERTY. With a 4.3" high-res screen(SAMOLED+ etc) with a nice 5 row keyboard (nicely risen and spaced) with numbers on the top row, with a strong hinge. To be thin and light too. Have the screen cover most of the phone, so not a huge phone. Xenon flash with a nice camera, with good sensor too. There's a lot of other things I'd want too, just can't think atm haha.

Fuel cell battery? or any bigger battery. I'd rather have a thicker phone with more battery life than a thin phone with standard battery life.
Wireless charging, NFC.
Thunderbolt I/O Integration with faster onboard NAND? (SD cards and generally transferring anything over USB is horridly slow atm.)
HDMI out via a dock or a port on the phone? (I'm sure a dual core cpu would be able to handle 1080p)

15" tablet , 3mm thin , so u can cut a turkey in half wit it if ya dont have a knife on you on thanksgiving

Well, there'd be a battery cover on the design I suggested as well, so it could be done the same way.

ZAGGkeys Folio White with White Backlit Keyboard

Just wondering if anyone has experience with this keyboard.
Thoughts/Opinions?

I ordered one this morning I will have it by Monday sometime
I'll give another post on Tues.
Anything in particular you are looking for?

I got mine Friday and I love it! (Wish it came in other colors besides white!) It pairs up easily and stays connected. I have note had to use the back light keyboard (the screen lights up the keybaord plenty in a dimly lite room) I love the "touch" of the keys! Makes my Note 8.0 much more functional, to me.
I wasn't sure about paying 99.99 for a keyboard but I'm glad I did! It is just what I was looking for!! Buy it, you will not be sorry!

Hope this helps courtesy of my Android buddy- Gerry:
I just love the Zaggkeys Folio for Galaxy Note 8. A sturdy and solid case with a "rubbery" feel exterior. You just know your Note 8 is well protected with this keyboard case. White is too plain for me though, so I just splashed on a couple of vintage style stickers to my liking.

I think this case with keyboard is the most aesthetic looking for the Note 8.. The bluetooth keyboard definitely adds a lot of functionality if you like to type and email a lot using your tablet. Individual keys are the right size and you won't be fidgeting and fumbling pressing those keys. Lengthy entries are a cinch. However , navigation and key input is not intuitive. The layout is not a typlical QWERTY layout so will need some adjustments on your part. Navigation using the keyboard is tricky and cumbersome, so your best recourse is to use the S-pen or your finger along with key inputs. Think mouse and keyboard like on a desktop. I was hopping to map some keys for gaming but at this point I think it will not be even possible.
Oh! And I can say that watching movies in bed is so much more fun. The screen angle stays in place not like my MOKO slim folio case which hardly stays put.
The backlit keys sure look PUURRRTTYYY!
Final thoughts:
This case somehow takes away from the pure tablet experience of the Note 8. It makes your Note 8 feel like a "small netbook/laptop". With the keyboard, you are mostly forced to use the Note 8 in landscape view. In portrait mode, it feels like you are holding and reading a hardbound novel. The weight difference is significant from a naked note 8 or even one with a slim case. They Note 8 is also not that easy to take out of this case if you want to move between cases. So be prepared to use this as your main case once you pop the Note 8 in.
But for my own purpose, this is a perfect accessory that I need. Useful as it is, I think it is still overpriced at $99. Although I can't find anything cheaper that comes close to the aesthetics and slim fit of the Zaggkeys folio. If $99 will not set you back much, then I recommend you get this one.

I received mine on Monday and is very nice and works perfectly
Some things to note
The hinge does flex dont know the long term durability
By doing a function right arrow you can change the colors of the keyboard
Wish it came in different colors
the charging cable for the keyboard is on the opposite side of the charging of the note 8

Thanks Baratheonist. This is what I was looking for. Still debating if I should get it... not sure if i want my tablet set as a netbook or if I'd like to take it out and put back in from time to time. I have the Asus Transformer Infinity with the dock and I find I use the tablet mostly without the dock but I do find it handy from time to time... plus it acts as an extra battery so that was a plus. Maybe I will give it time.

The nicest looking set up I have seen, but, would it kill any of these Bluetooth keyboard makers to add a small mouse pad?

$50
Now only if they could price this thing reasonably!!! $99 + tax I think NOT!!! This needs to be around $50 before the average joe like me would ever even consider buying it.

Looks nice.
I wonder if my Note 8.0 would still fit in my front pants pocket with this case on it?

Does the onscreen keyboard still popup when this keyboard is paired?

I have this keyboard too and it's really nice! It's one of the best gadget I've invested in
