Input Method

[Guest latinheat]

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for a while, but now that I'm finally thinking about getting a Prophet, now's the time to post. My question to the group is what input method do you find easiest to use with the Prophet (i.e., transcriber, Jot, keyboard)? Anybody use a virtual fullscreen keyboard like Typango or SPB keyboard? Basically, I find the Wizard way too thick and so the Prophet seems appealing, but want to ensure that it's still very usable. I'm looking to upgrade from an SMT5600 that's on it's last legs and wanted something with a much bigger screen.

thanks all!

I use Letter Recogniser for everything, except passwords - those I put in with the Keyboard because it's easier to be sure you get them right

I was using Phonepad for one-handed SMSing, but TBH i kept forgetting and using the stylus with Letter Recogniser anyway.

I use PhonePad for everything pretty much, except the normal keyboard occasionally...

Pretty much use phone pad, I have hacked the registry so that this comes up everytime I soft reset.

Ahh, did you do the same reg settings as in WM2003?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP

DefaultIM={42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}

Any side effects - I had problems with various apps not recognising the SIP after I changed it on my M500

I set it using SKTools to be the default...

I was wondering about the responsiveness with the dialpad typing. On my X51v, I really have tap with the tip of my finger. If I just press carlessly, it won't register the tap.

Hi Chucky , no I used the settings from the Blue Angel WIKI on XDA forums. I'm in a rush at the moment but will post later.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP "DefaulfIM"

Phone Pad -> {51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}

Please be careful as this string name differs from device to device , but this is cool for the Dopod 818 pro

Soft reset after saving changes :)
