I hear some people almost never use the qwerty keyboard and just use the numkeys with t9 instead.
So, how often do you use your qwerty? Do you use it at all?
I use the keyboard a lot. If I need enter more than one word, I use the qwerty. I write many lines of notes, IM... Now I dont wait until I come to computer and reply to mails imidiately. It's really useful for me.
(Maybe you could make a poll. )
lots
I use mine everyday. Got free sms's every time i load my sim so i type a lot and spam all my m8's hehehe

Me. I hate numeric keypad with T9 - vote for keyboard! 1+
I disabled the XT9 garbage (it was so annoying with the qwerty). The keyboard is why i bought the phone.
It's good though having the phone pad for quick input. I used to have a Wizard and hated having to slide the keyboard out every time I needed to input something (I know there's a soft keyboard on PPC but they're far too fiddly!).
One other thing I like about the Wings QWERTY keyboard is that you can access most of the secondary keys by a long press instead of having to press the Fn key first. I thought it only applied to the number section but discovered by accident that it works on all keys with an alphabetical base key.
All I need to do now is work out how to map different function keys - I use '&' a lot but having to press Fn+Sym, then navigate the symbol grid is a pain.
I have same problem. I am spanish and I use spanis characters that can only be found in Symbol screen... and it takes too much time!. Any way to make shortcuts?
****ing Never
I use the Resco Keyboard Pro.
Does Resco Kb Pro works for Smartphones? I have only found it for PPC... and idea where I cand find it? How does it solve the problem?
Thanks indeed!

yeah your'e right need a ****in stylus. sorry went brain dead there.
There should be a way to redefine little blue simbols in keyboard buttons so I cand obtain spanish accent or spanish N instead of, i.e, ; or whatever.
Any other idea?
Thanks for your try, anyway...
sometimes i type fast and then the keyboard cant catch up with me. its really annoying. why cant the stupid processor not keep up with the input?? i also noticed that while im typing fast, some letters are missing.
does this happen to you too??
is there any solution?
I really didn't notice that; I am not very fast typing... my problem is that I can not type with XT9 while I am looking to the screen to ensure that the word choosen is the word that I want to writte... well, I can, but it's a very slow procerss.
This is ehy I like to writte with ABC, but having the option to input spanish characters in a fast mode ...

Argh! its one of those annoyances that pisses me off lol.
Every time I enter a text field screen keyboard pops up covering half of the screen.
How do I stop it? I want it to open only when I click on it.
..........
Out of curiosity, are you using the standard keyboard or Pocket CM, resco ect?
Standard, the one that comes with Dutty's v4. It has a Touch skin, but I think it's standard keyboard.
If there's an answer somewhere - please point me in the right direction.. I searched and didn't find anything (it's kinda hard to phrase this one)
Sorry. Don’t have any answers for you. I was asking just to keejp note just in case a similar problem occurred with my Kaiser. I have an original non flashed rom by the way, so it probably won’t be a problem with me.

Yes you will.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.. and it comes standard with every ROM I've seen (WM5+). Most people won't have a problem with it, but if I type something, I use hardware keyboard.. so on-screen keyboard pop-up is useless for me.
ummm... well it hasn't been a problem with any of the two MDA touch's, MDA vario II, or two MDA Vario III's I've had in the last few months... Fingers crossed it'll stay that way....
I would also like to see a solution
I vaguely remember a blank-sip or none-sip program exactly for this purpose. You could make it the default. Maybe PHM made it, try searching on the web.
I like the option of using the SIP sometimes, but most of the time I don't want it. It seems like once you use it once, it thinks you want it all the time, until you use the hardware keyboard again. How hard would it be to just let me click on it when I want it. Jeez!
a blank SIP is an option in this free program: http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/PowerToys/
Blank SIP is a solution, but not a very good one. When I do want to use screen keyboard, I'd have to snipe that little arrow to open SIP selection, then find what I want and click it. Wait for it to load...
It'd be easier if it just wouldn't pop-up when cursor is in the text field. There's probably a setting somewhere..
Try this....

Try these registry settings that worked for me. When I used to open a new document with ms word or go to the address bar in PIE the sip used to pop up but not after applying these settings. After import .reg file or changing them manually you will need to soft-reset.
It now only pops up when i select rename file in resco explorer. But I can live with that.
Hope this helps...

Some programs call it automatically. It's the way they're coded. I would think there wouldn't be a way to suppress the on-screen keyboard without disabling it entirely.

The only other way to do this is to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip and change "AllowChange" from 1 to 0 and then soft-reset. However as you say this will disable it fullstop. So the only way you could enter info is either at the dialer (to call someone) or by using the slide out keyboard. To re-activate change the 0 back to a 1 at the above registry key.

I have had my TILT phone for two months now and purchased one for my daughter on Friday. She texted me that she loves the phone - particularly now that she has dicovered TRANSCRIBER mode.
Now you all may be aware of this but since it was such an eye opener for me I thought that I would share this publicly. If it opens me up to ridicule then so be it...
When you are in a text message or email message and you have the little keyboard at the bottom of your screen click on it until you get an UP ARROW. Then click on that. Choose TRANSCRIBER mode.
Now you can write on your screen with your stylus and it TRANSFORMS what you WRITE into text.
It works on the internet explorer as well. You can now WRITE that you want to go to WWW.PANASONIC.COM (or any URL) and it TYPES IT IN FOR YOU!.
Sorry to shout - but I never use the actual keyboard on my TILT - too obnoxious. I always use the stylus and "type in" my message. The transcriber mode find was really cool for me.
Hope it helps you as much as it helped me.
Bill
Oops. Probably shouldn't have bought a phone with a keyboard then.
It also depends on how "nicely" you write
Since I'm much faster with a keyboard than with a pen & paper...
I'm still loving the pocketcm keyboard & kaiser hardware keyboard.
(transcriber has been there for ... ages )

Yeah, same here. I have terrible penmenship. I can type like a fiend though... When I use the transcriber, it can't figure out that I'm writing a T or a t and it guesses some other character and it's always wrong.
But, I'm left handed. Maybe that has something to do with it.
if you like transcriber mode, you would love calligrapher. It works nearly flawlessly with people who have terrible penmanship. You can write anywhere (I dunno if this is possible with transcriber or not...). anyway, it has a trial mode. http://www.phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/calligrapher

The TyTN II hardware keyboard is not just for typing

I often use the onscreen keyboard on my TyTN II rather than the hardware keyboard but I still wouldn't buy a Pocket PC without the keyboard. Try watching recorded TV/Videos on the train with the device sitting on your table and you'll see what I mean. The ability to angle the screen is very handy.
I was pretty psyched when I found the transcriber input choice, as well. I don't know how often I'll use it, but it's nice to have. Ideally, I'd opt for thought input, though...
Don't forget that you can also use the Transcriber mode to enter text macros, shortcuts to apps and datestamps.
I tried using Transcriber in the Notes section of my contacts, but it doesn't pick anything up. Is it supposed to work in that application?
OK - You are not crazy
Well - maybe you are but you are certainly right. Notes on contacts just "beeps" at you and does NOT convert it to text. hmmmmm. . .
No idea why but it works in other places - like sending text messages and writing emails.
Sorry bout that.

Make sure you have disablext9 cab installed and make sure you turn OFF cleartype in PIE AND LANDSCAPE MODE.

Yes Yes, XT9 slows down the keyboard response time. But its still slow sometimes even with it Disabled.
There was a Theory put forth, by I believe mikechannon, that Said its because you hit Shift with your left thumb and before you lift up your Right thumb has pressed the other key. Shift Stays due to the minuet lag and then you hit the second key and it gets capitalized as well. You just need to slow down on your typing.

I'm being much more deliberate in my typing now because I do type too fast for the keyboard, even with the XT9 disabled.

That is what I'm doing since i have my TyTNII. I was hoping for a better solution because imho the purpose of a qwerty keyboard is speeding up typing. Sometimes I'm a little dissapointed from the device (regarding video drivers, the keyboard, misc. bugs, ... not this great for about 800 bucks). So i think I'll wait for the Touch Pro and take a exact look on it before buying and if there's the same problem, i think i'll go for the diamond (cheaper and smaller anyways). Made some good experiences with TouchPal softkeyboard.
I really appreciate your help and thank you for spending time for my problem. This goes out to KDKobes too.
Does anyone else have the following problem ?:
When you go to the SMS tab, and press the small box to start writing new SMS, if you use the original Diamond keyboard, you can just type a few letters of your contact and it will fully appear. If you use TouchPal (I'm using version 3.5), this feature is disabled, you have to type your entire contact name every time, it doesn't recognize the first few letters and try to find a match. This is SO annoying !
Please tell me there is some workaround...
Could it be that the Diamond's original keyboard stores all the contact information in the Keyboard dictionary ?, if this is true, it means no keyboard apart from Diamond's original will allow quick find of contacts in SMS...
no problem with me..
say for eg you wanna call "home"
just press H O and enter and then it will detect home in my contact.
i suspect the problem may be.. touchpal "store" what you pressed in its own list instead of going up to the SMS directly..
Same problem. Would love to see an solution, but I think there is none...
Wizard,
Do you have the Touchpal keyboard ???
its free for personal use available online..
The contacts don't display when you start typing, but if you only type a few letters and then press send a page appears with all contacts that have the letters you've typed in their names. You can then tap the contact you wish to send to.
I don't find it a problem.

Hey, I was wondering if there was a CAB out there that could make it so your phone make noises when you typed, I thought it would be cool, my mates phone does it.

use Resco Keyboard PRO, make a clicking noise each time u type ....i think that should fit exactly what you want....but it isnt free.. but u can get a hold of it in the normal places ;-)
Try Finger Keyboard. It's free and you can find it here somewhere. It allows ya to change the sounds..
