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

Thank you, a poll is added. Let the voting begin!
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 ...

Is that a special kind that you insert somewhere?
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.

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
OH WOW!!!!!!!!

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.

Just hit the edit button on the bottom left on the note page and the transcriber will work like normal.
OK Gonzo - you are right - duh!

And if you press the WINDOWS KEY button at the bottom left of the Kaiser, a PROGRAMS list drops down, like on a WINDOWS PC!!!
OMG!! WAIT! You can even PRESS the START button at the top left your SCREEN! You can TOUCH the SCREEN ANYWHERE and it RESPONDS according to where you TOUCHED! AMAZING!!!

Ok, so when I used to start typeing a contacts name in the 'to' field of message, it would give me a list of names or numbers after putting in a few letters or numbers. Now I have to put in a couple letters/numbers and then go to check name. Anyone have any idea how i turned this off.

ok, now I feel a bit retarded, don't remember doing that before, but guess it was. Thanks.
Have loaded any new touch keyboards to your device. For me, that feature will stop working after I add any new keyboards. It will come back for a bit after a soft reset, but then it goes away again. Once I remove the offending keyboard, then it works again... I wish I could have both.
I have a similar problem if I use large title bar. When its loaded, the roller wheel on the side no longer controls call volume... Again, wish I had both!

You should't have to enter a space to get the options. It should appear as your typing.
As mentioned above if you installed a keyboard from another device, such as the Touch or Diamond, with T9/XT9 you will lose this auto complete and word suddgestion. There is a disable XT9 cab witch will give you the auto complete and word suddgestion back, but cause the non defult keyboards to enter number only, no letters. it that is the case you have to decide witch is more important to you.
Did you install another keyboard? or did it just stop working as it had?
I will agree that the Installation of Customer SIPs like PCMKeyboard or something else will interfere with this..

Correct, but I was just replying to him saying:

because he shouldn't feel stupid, because he did't have to do it previously.
After having a Touch a few months back, i thought the Diamond would be a breeze. NO such luck in my experience.
For example. On the main home screen. How do you edit that so it's just the clock or, to add more to the list that currently shows calendar and call history? I can't find any way to do this so if you can enlighten me, i'd really appreciate it.
What about when texting? Is there any way to make the keypad a different size? Personally i can't find a way to edit that. It's annoying that after adding your contacts name, you seemingly have 90% of the screen filled with the entry system and you have to mess about to get to the message section of the screen. Guessing i've missed something somewhere!
Zooming in on a photo... how is that done? Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
This thread could become a handy hints and tips chart for beginners if all feedback is good so if you have a question or some simple advice for settings and the way to go around things, chuck a note in and someone will be very happy to see the reply
1) Well if u flick ur finger in an upward motion on the home screen u'll notice the clock becoming smaller and will list all the list all ur appointments from ur calendar...
2) If u are not satisfied in the HTC Keyboard, u will need to look into other keyboards my fav personally is Touchpal from Cootek and there is even resco keyboard which is pretty gud.
3) You can only zoom in a picture when u r in the HTC Album, in order to zoom you will need to rotate your finger clockwise or anti-clockwise i am always forget which is for zooming so u will need chk tht out...
I hope these tips helps u out....

Hmmmmmm, i see. Shame that somehow we can't take the good things from the Touch like the Home screen as standard and have them in the 3D instead. If any cab compilers are reading this, maybe it's something that could be done?
Along those lines, maybe someone could rip out the original texting keyboard, the smaller more compact one... better for stylus use and enables you to see more screen. I HATE the big finger pad they've put on the Diamond. Is is really necessary to have it that big? Surely if you're going to use the stylus (i mean if HTC didn't want us to use one, then ALL the functions and menus would be larger, yes?), then why provide us with one in the first place?!?!!

There are multiple SIPs already built into the Diamond. Holding your finger or stylus on the small arrow next to the keypad button when input is allowed will display the menu, from there you can select the Windows SIP which is tiny and stylus friendly...
Reading the manual is a good idea before posting dude. Or even a search

Well thanks for that reply. I'll have a mess about with that one.
That took no time at all. NO WINDOWS SIP on my handset. All i have are the following... BLOCK, COMPACT, FULL, KEYBOARD, LETTER, PHONEPAD and TRANSCRIBER *sigh*
What bloody version have you got?!?!!
Oh and for the record Mr Read-The-Text-Provided (lol)... did i not say this? ---> Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
Hmmmmm, i think i did!
Ok... answer this one then. Every other HTC phone i have had has done this but not on the Diamond. When you receive a simple thing like an mms or a text, the screen lights to give a clue in case you never heard the message laert. How you you activate THAT cus i'm not seeing how it'ds done anywhere.
Clues please?
I agree - the 'manual/instructions' Orange sent were non-existent and as a first time PPC user I was totally lost until I had a nosey around here and to be fair am still learning all what this phone can do!

HTC want a good kicking if you ask me. The thing as I see it is this. If they'd have kept the basics as it was on the Kaiser (Tytn II) and THEN added the 3D, all would have been superb.
As for Orange... well, nuff said

Thanks for that chap. My tone? Oh well if i've offended anyone then i apologise. I'm just a bit jumpy when things don't go according to plan and my comments come over as slightly abrasive when in fact, they're supposed to come over as a normal question but in a jokey type manner. I get that in a face to face sitation to so i know exactly what you're saying.
Again, thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated
Any program that does that?
I remember being able to disable this on the Kaiser with the Kaisertweak.
BUMP! BUMP!
Hi:
I am just curious, why would someone need to use the keyboard while the phone is asleep?
Thanks!
I put in the same request...
Having the phone in your pocket may to weird things if it wakes up on keyboard slide (you need not to slide it out completely to wake it up...).
I have a question...how to disable auto rotation while qwerty slideout?

It's the exact same cab file that you use for the Tilt. quit bumping and go try things instead of just asking With that I leave you with a link to the search button.

This is a very obviously stupid recommendation.
First because nobody would do that, unless they would like to brick their device.
It's always better to ask before to "experts"..., yes "experts".
No offense.

that has the option in it as well, as well as the option to keep the keyboard light on. also it lets you switch the SIP when changing(so you can use Null keyboard in Landscape if you want)
