Looks great for the Money!

Be interesting to know how it compares to the SoftTextor and other input methods.

Maybe you could apply some sort of Keyboard Grading Scale.
eg:
Thumbing about on a phone keypad=1
Thumbing about with T9=2
-3
-4
SoftTextor=5 (maybe generous but I like the thing smile.gif )
-6
-7
-Laptop Keyboard=8
-Standard Desktop Keyboard=9
-Some really flash expensive Desktop Keyboard=10

im afraid my young age and constant use of msn has kinda made the apostrophe defunct, not including them does make things harder to read (although i do try and use it in the case of he'll as this can lead to confusion, but even still the context of the sentence should make it obvious).

Good thing is it doesnt seem to affect my uni work, can still type up an essay correctly smile.gif

What if you want to use your phone sideways (word processing apps do do that, don't they?) Will IR contact still be possible? I'm envisioning using my phone for library research trips, but first need to find the right keyboard and app setup. Suggestions welcome.

Can someone mail me the drivers for this (or let me know if there is a web site with them on). I have one of these qhich I got last year for a viewsonic v37, it would be great to get some additional use out of it!

typing delay is acceptable, the keyboard images are on the news section. but as soon as i get some decent net access, i will upload some more...

the keyboard can work with the phone in a whole variety of positions, horizontal, above and below the keyboard, and the range is quite good too about 15 cm
line of sight.

the refresh is probably too slow for arcade style games.

re driver, it's a pc installer, and i really canot distribute it... i would imagine that the distributors would make drivers available for download...

hope that help..

Will
