Easier text entry


Recommended Posts

I'm being really picky here, but i'd like it to be quicker to switch text entry modes on the SPV. At the moment you have to hold the * key down to change from multitap to t9 to number entry which really bugs me, especially when you can't go straight from multitap to t9 mode, you have to go through number entry mode every time. It would be much easier to have a version more like the Nokia system (I know I know...!) where pressing * briefly switches between multitap and t9 and holding it down goes into caps lock/number mode. For example, something like this-

Mode 1 - t9 -> T9 -> abc -> ABC

Hold down * to get to...

Mode 2 - T9 -> ABC -> 123

And hold down * again to get back to mode 1

Picky aren't I?! :D

Or an "Insert Number" entry in the menu like the Nokias had.

You could enter numbers by holding down # (or whatever key it was) on my old 3330 too, but I didn't find that out til ages after I bought the phone! I'm sure the key mappings on the SPV are just there to be different to Nokia for the sake of it! Or maybe Nokia have copyrighted their key arrangement? If Amazon can do it for a click (one click ordering) and BT tried it for the hyperlink then anything's possible! :wink:
