A Better virtual keyboard - any suggestions?

hi All,

Having a useful left hand for text messaging was great on my Samsung and Sony K770i phone. but with the Tytn II I am very limited to using the virtual keyboard and the fiddly pen just to respond to text messages.

At work, its ok, as I use SOTI and a full sized keyboard to type away :)

But when on the go, its annoying that I cannot use a virtual keyboard that mimics the same keyboard layout as most phones, ie: Your normal 1 - 9 keyboard layout, 0 at the bottom and 3 letters on each of the keys (in other words like a physical numeric keypad).

Any advice, welcome as I prefer to test one handed.

I have tried so many different SIPs since I first got a PPC, and every time I go back to HTC Phone Pad, which for those that don't know is a T9 style keypad.

It's copyrighted HTC Software so I can't attach a copy for you, but spend five minutes with your Google hat on and you'll find a copy for download :)

Ok has blue buttons. Has a T9 button. if pressed, changes colour to a lightish green colour. got ashift button and also a SYM button?

Yep that's the one :) There is also a version floating around with a Touch style skin, which looks much better. Make sure you install to main memory and not the card.

While on the subject of SIPs I'd advise not to install the new Touch Dual keyboards on the Kaiser, as they screw around with the hardware keyboards functonality

Thanks so much mandt for PM.. regarding separate matters... On another note, the T9 keypad is awesome! there have been a couple of occasions when I can't be bothered to get the keyboard out, and this suites it perfectly.
