Been using it over the weekend, and I love it. Works a treat.

Gotta admit, i only used it for 5 minutes but I didn't like it. It didn't seem to guess the words very well. I uninstalled it as i really like the htc keyboard I have.

Might try again some other time though.

Oh btw, the version on the market is marked "beta", which is prob why it's free.

Interesting, it won't replace the Hero keyboard but it's a fun alternative

I nearly deinstalled it, then realized I was using it wrong. I was waiting for it to show the character as I moved around the keyboard, but you don't need to; you just move from letter to letter and it does "clever stuff". I loved the HTC Touch Input keyboard, but this is the future as far as I'm concerned :)

I've installed and enabled it but when i go to Input Method on the keyboard no options appear anyone know why?

Open up the handcent app and enable it.

handcent? Android options are good for me :)

Shapewriter cost money a few days ago and wasn't in beta, so this is weird. Anyway, I do like it and it works fine.

It only has 500-1000 downloads, which must explain the free price (they probably removed their old apps).

Downloading as we speak, although I am looking forward to Swype more.

downloaded HandCent enabled that and still no good

Sorry, don't know why I said Handcent.

I meant open up Shapewriter in the apps menu. It should ask you there if you want to enable it as a system keyboard.

Looked a bit around on the web and read the thread. But it seems like nobody even got it working on winmo.

That would mean I would have to type every single dutch word there is, than it is easier to use touchpal :) thereby it takes the standard words over the words you add, I read somewhere. So it would make it a pretty crappy experience.

To enable shapewriter as your default keyboard to to any empty text box and long press it and should bring up a dialog menu with Input Method you can then choose which keyboard is default.

I'll give it a try, if it works like Graffiti on my old US Robotics Palmpilot I could get used to it. But I guess it worked good with a stylus, wonder if it works ok with fingers

Ha tried it, quite a unique concept, totally differnet from Graffiti. I'm going to give it a real try.
