Touch Tones on Wing !!!

This might sound like a stupid question but, have any of u guys been able to send touch tones on your wing. I mean like not through the keypad, but like a no. from the contacts list. Almost every phone has this feature. I just thought i would discover it after some days. 5 months now and zilch. Please tell me i must be overlooking some little thing.
Thanks,

I don't really understand the question.

You mean like being able to press and hold the number 2 and have it dial your girlfriend type of thing? If that's the case and you're using the HTCTouch pad, just press down while you're in the pad.

I am sorry for being so unclear. I usually use calling cards to call my home country. In order to do that i have to dial a access number, a pin number and then the long distance phone number. I had an older Nokia 6019i. In that phone
i use to have my dads phone number stored as....
xxx(calling card pin)xxx(long distance number).
I mean all those numbers i use to store in the number field of the phone book entry. Then i just use to call the access number. Select call options from the Nokia call menu. Then select "send touch tones". Search for the phone number as you would do in any phonebook. Select the number and press send. It would send all those numbers as tones.. as if i was dialing them...but much much faster.
Hope that clears it up or messes up the question even further

I found this in a quick search. May it can help you.

This new version, which is in BETA, works on Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. It is resolution aware, so it will work fine on QVGA and Landscape screens.

Here's another one called Sunnysoft Calling Card
http://sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=265#screenshots
Seems to be a little nicer than the other one.

Hey duprade,
Thanks for all the info man. Will try both of them. Its a pity that such a feature which is natively available on lower end devices, is not there on a WM device. But thanks again, those applications will definitely fit my purpose.

SMS Software Programs

Does anyone know of any good SMS Message programs for our phone other than the standard crappy windows one?
I recently installed Nadavi's/dutty dialer/call logs and I love how it has shortcut touchscreen buttons to easily organize/view your dialed/missed/incoming calls.
Now I want to find a program with similar on-screen touch buttons for text messages to easily touch view your sent/inbox/drafts, etc. instead of having to press the drop down menu and selecting the proper message folder.
And yes, i have searched

uhh, no help?

Palm sms is the best one i've found. It threads the conversations, which I love.
Palm SMS Threader

for some odd reason on my tilt, the palm sms doesnt allow me 2 send or receive multimedia messages....so i dnt kno if it is the best text messaging app.

i think you guys are misunderstanding me. I already have pocket CM. I don't need to thread my conversations or anything like that.
I just want touch screen buttons to press to easily view my sent messages folder, or inbox folder, etc. instead of having to press MENU>FOLDERS>OUTBOX/DRAFTS/SENT, etc. I felt the need for it eversince I was able to have shortcut onscreen buttons for dailed/missed/incoming/all calls when I am in my call log screen.
Below is a picture of the Dutty DualTouch Dialer. If you look at the first picture of the second row, something like this where you can press a button for inbox/sent/drafts instead of dialed called/missed calls would be AWESOME.

you CAN send mms, read the thread I linked. And Palm SMS always shows sent items along w/ received. As far as big button shortcuts no, it doesn't have them.

yea nufsaid, that's why I didn't like the palm program. I think you meant to quote chimaj21 btw when you were referring to sending MMS capabilities.
as for my problem, looks like there is not really a solution to what I want.

yeah my bad.

Need a software keyboard with more keys!

Hi all,
I am looking for an on screen keyboard that, as well as the QWERTY layout, also has the up/down/left/right arrow keys and a row of numbers along the top.
I often use the stylus and it would be great it I didn't have to keep swapping between 2 different layouts to get to the numbers.
I done a few searches but couldn't find what I was looking for, any ideas?
Ta

Reco Keyboard Pro. its the one I use for the same reasons as you... Has quite a few skins with numbers and arrows on them

And if you can do without the arrow keys this is a bit bigger and you can use your finger
I use the one it comes with which is just called Black which does the job..
Hope this helps

*blink* What? Did you install it?
I myself would like to find either a keyboard or a ssh client that'll send Alt sequences.. I use control and alt on my *nix server for nearly everything I do and it's a real pain just with control, but I have yet to find anything that'll send an Alt (such as Alt-N, Alt-P, etc...)

My personal favorite is the Touchpal by Cootek.
I started using it so I had a 1-handed software keyboard for messaging, and now I use it as my main keyboard.
You can re-size it with a vertical motion on one of the tabs and go through multiple key sizes.
It has all 3 keyboard types built in , which you can transition to just sliding your finger horizontal. There is really good error correction and suggestive input, although I don't use them. However, it does have some extra tabs that are filled with useful buttons like arrows, copy, paste, home, end, etc...
Unfortunately though, it is not freeware - but for me it was well worth the price. You can try it free though, and the T+ layout remains usable after expiration (freeware).

Im not sure what your doing but I have the resco keyboard on all my WM devices and it has always worked. You hit the small arrow next to the input icon on the taskbar ( usually in the middle of the taskbar ) and select Resco Keyboard. To change the skins ( after you have installed them ) just select options from the same popup menu, then the options button under the input method choice box, select the skin tab and choose the skin.

Swiftkey Keyboard Pre-release beta

SwiftKey keyboard
SwiftKey is like an English professor is alive and working inside your phone. It’s still in beta, but it’s already an amazing little application. What makes SwiftKey different is its ability to predict the next word in your sentence. Predicting the current word is so 2009! Of course everyone loves things that make our lives easier - things like correctly guessing what word comes next. My only issue (and it's a small one) is that you can't enter words that aren't in the dictionary by pressing the spacebar and moving on. You have to actually tap the word to get SwiftKey to enter it.
To sign up and check out the SwiftKey beta head over to SwiftKey.net. It's really polished for a beta, and to be honest I'm planning on using it as is until they release a new version. At the moment SwiftKey is English only, but the developers say that they plan to include support for all the Latin based languages in the near future. No word on availability and pricing of the final version, but by the look and feel of the application, it shouldn't be too far off. Keep an eye on their site for details, and be sure to let me know if you see it slip into the Market before I do!
Pros:
Amazing full word prediction
Easy to add to custom dictionary
Also predicts punctuation
Special characters are easily entered by long pressing
Cons:
Learning curve
Can be laggy when first starting up
Will always pick the word it thinks is correct, so be careful with the spacebar
File remove by moderator. If anyone wants it then download it through official channels such as Market.

very interesting thank you for sharing

are your app could use "return" key on messaging? im using htc magic and very frustated with htc magic messaging cause i cant press enter key

some way to quicly switch languages would be nice :\

My two cents: LOVE the design, not ugly at all (to me, anyway), it was never slow, ran perfectly on my MyTouch 3G, COOL haptic feedback adjustment (CM6 much? ), its cool to long press for "!" and "?" (among others), and the keys are easy to see and tap.
9/10!

No-fullscreen Landscape keyboard for TnT/TnTlite

I just found out that Smart Keyboard Pro has a config switch to disable switching to full-screen in landscape mode. This makes it work in landscape like original TnT keyboard - entry field does not cover the whole screen. This fixes one of TnT(lite) issues for me. Perhaps it could be useful to someone who needs a soft keyboard with support for other languages. Not sure if there are other/free keyboards which support such option, I decided a few euros is not that bad for a keyboard with so many options

Ultra Keyboard as has No Fullscreen Mode
Ultra keyboard has this as well, it also has some nice tools above the keyboard like selecting text, cut, copy paste. It also has cursor keys as well as trace(Swype) support. You can configure it to use trace mode all the time or on either portrait or landscape mode. I like to use it only in portrait, as the landscape mode means my finger has to do a lot of traveling. Trace is not as nice as swype, but works fairly well. The cursor keys included on both portrait and landscape keyboards make it fairly easy to correct any typos.

Yeah, Ultra has some really nice features, however it is unaware of non-latin characters, which kind of defies the purpose for me, I could type in English using TnT keyboard. If it had more languages I'd switch to it from Smart.

I am using the Ultra keyboard trial but haven't been able to figure out how to make it work full width. The tool bar is, but not the keys. What am I missing? Besides probably a brain

I've started using Thumb Keyboard, which costs $1.99 but which has a great split keyboard in landscape for comfortable thumb typing while holding the tab. Autocomplete was just added, but I'm not sure which languages it supports. It's in the Market.
It's not 100% ready for prime time, but I love having a keyboard like this. My thumbs were taking a beating trying to use a full-width keyboard. (Tiny girl hands!)

Thanks for the tip on Thumb Keyboard, I bought it and am typing with it right now. (It was only $1.33 for me fyi.) Much closer to what I wanted from the keyboard, now I can hit all the letters with my thumbs. The space bars are still a little far for my liking, but not too bad. App looks like it's pretty new, so hopefully it'll keep getting updates.

Oops, yeah, I think you're right on the price. But I'm glad you're using it! It's just what I wanted/needed, especially after ending up with my thumb in a splint after a week of heavy use of the default keyboard! This is much less of a strain.
