A free version like http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
The one that comes with Resco Explorer works excellent.

Which do you think is the better text input keyboard?
Thanks,

Oh yeah? Have you ever tried TouchPal? The input speed you can reach with it, is really amazing and the buttons are MUCH larger than the HTC full qwerty's.
Keyboard
touchpal 3.5 for sure.....does the supplied keyboard save passwords? or does it do multilanguages? Can you resize it? I really dont know, ive used touchpal 3.5 for a while. I love it.
yup Touch pal is bar far the best, i use it on full qwerty with my chunky electricians fingers and it works fine
Anyone use Touchpal with Gsen so you have landscape mode for the keyboard? Find that easier to type on?
Was a stupid joke
You have a link or something else?

Just started using TouchPal. Its excellent for me.
I would also like to use it in landscape mode, but its not so good. Anyone looked into this?
Thanks
I just compared the two and the TouchPal buttons are way smaller than the Diamond's built in SIP.
I find the buttons on the calculator on the Diamond to be too small. Can someone recommend a better one that works well with the Diamond?
Thanks,
Jon

You should have a look under the Themes,applications forum under the diamond where you will find a .cab file which makes the calculator look like the phone keypad. Heres the link:

Diamond Calculator
Try 1-Calc Lite and does metric-imp conversions too
I'm starting to get a little bored of how bad the onscreen keypads are on the Kaiser. Is it possible to use the keypads from some of the later HTC models such as the Diamond, Touch HD or Touch Pro?
Resco Keyboard. Ive used it for months and it doesnt get boring!!!

I've tried a few and the nicest I've found is actually the Diamond one which you can get here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
Careful though. It looks like it doesn't uninstall well...
A very nice freeware keyboard is pocketCM Keyboard which is also skinable:

Whichever you choose, you'll probably want an use the app attached to stop your phone going back to the default keyboard every time you soft-reset
SPB Keyboard.
a nice qwerty and full screen keyboard.
but no phone pad like layout.

this is one i already had but didnt realise it had been updated! i have downloaded a new qwerty skin but unfortunately it doesn't have the feature of making a key click noise after i press a key.

I have TouchResponse installed, so the device vibrates every time you touch the screen (Haptic feedback).
Personally I have used Resco Keyboard which is great, but now I have SPB Keyboard which is by far the best and it has many skins available. It can also click if you want.
Hi, i'd like to know which keyboard do you use when you dont use de qwerty one. Ive seen some CAB files but i really dont know "which one is better". I think its about taste, but that why i ask you all, to know which one do you all use so i can "think" about which one will i use
thank you very much!!!!
I use sometimes fingertouch and sometimes default WM one.....
i'd say "FingerKeyb 2.1" is the best one so far... It's free, it's good, it's even customizable (just a bonus, not necessary) x1 has wvga-resolution, download the right cab!
Ezinput is even better (made by HTC), but it messes up the hw-keyboard, makes it unusable. there are others like SPB etc, but they're not free and definitely not better than FingerKeyb.
one problem they all share is the small screen of the x1, unless you have really really tiny hands.
Well, I never use software keyboard in landscape. In portrait I use the default WinMo one haha. I have the SPB keyboard as well, but it is kinda ugly. From time to time the Bulgarian keyboard is pretty useful. The Resco keyboard is very nice too.
The XT9 keyboard is good for landscape and portrait. Um.. I have one called "fullscreen keyboard", but I don't remember where I got it from lol.

That's like me. Even if it's small, has the best functionality.
Always come back to it. And it supports gestures!!

This on is fantastic but has one big flaw:
once you have it, you cannot enter any other keyb. or handwriting.
Bad.

Not true, u can still install CE star, it has handwriting capabilities which can work for English characters. Does anyone know of the new EZ input keyboard which Agent_47 used to package in his manila 2.5 rom? It looks real good and was large enough, but pretty laggy. Does anyone have the cab? I want see if its laggy on a non manila 2.5 rom
XT9
Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494026
It has large finger-friendly keys and allows for fast text entry with the feel of the old-style phone keypad.

Yep, xt9 is my choice too. It has t9, doesn't mess up with hw keyboard and has really big (virtual) buttons.

True, I'm not talking about CE Star
but the whole input menu gets covered so you cannot use
anything else.
I got Fingerbeyboard and HTC Touchit keyboards, and finally i chose fingerkeyboard
thank you all for your answers !!!
I'm an XT9 user too. (Used SKTools to force it to be the dafualt on rebooting so I didn't hve to keep changing from the std one).

do you mean the sip selector? (tiny triangle at bottom of screen- i think!!)
if so, in fingerkeyboard settings, in the 'options' tab you can choose to 'show bar' in portrait or landscape. this will then will allow you to use the sip selector, and also the soft keys
fingerkeyboard and softtouch maxkeys gets my vote
spb keyboard. its a really nice keyboard, easy to write with. also has options to add vibrations when u touch a key if u like that sort of thing.
