On screen keyboard sux!

[fwaits]

Yes this is true, but I guess I should have said TouchPal does it nicer with a click and drag down to get the number from that key rather than the delayed hold then pressing another key. I just prefer the functionality of TouchPal, but it is different and has a little learning curve to it.

I have big fingers and I have no problem with the on screen keyboard. It is a hugggge improvement from what I used on the Samsung Omnia.

I like this keyboard alot, and i really like how you can access the non english characters by holding the letters for a sec. It accurate, but im not lol.. i was so used to compensating to the left or right on my omnia due to the bad digitizer that i find myself doing it on this phone and misspelling words.

I must say I loved the TP2 onscreen keyboard. I could fly without any error correction. Now my Imagio seems more sensitive or something because I make errors left and right with the htc keyboard. Sure I can use the error correction which helps but I was still frustrated.

Someone told me about touchpal and said to use the two letters per key combo. I know this sounds lame and I always hated the blackberry's with this keyboard but it's awesome once you get used to it. Once you get used to hitting the word up top it finds for you, you end up hitting less keys. Also, you can use the keyboard like a full qwerty and not hit the word above the keys it finds and that almost works everytime as well.

I must say using the TouchPal keyboard that has two letters on each key is my new way to fly I think. The only downside I've found is seperate menu for arrows and sometimes if you are trying to use a new word for the first time that is someone's name or a strange business name, it must learn that.

I prefer the phone keypad on t9. I can fly with it only thing is that it takes a little practice to get good at in that you can type almost faster than you can keep an eye on the predictive text bar and if your not careful you can enter the wrong word.
I especIally like the updates on this one in that it has the common punctuation symbols right on the main screen.
THE ONLY TWO PROBLEMS I HAVE IS I CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE THE PHONE KEYPAD THE DEFAULT KEYBOARD AND IT ISN'T EVEN AVAILABLE IN HORIZONTAL MODE AT ALL! MY 6900 THERE WERE SETTINGS FOR THIS BUT I CAN'T FIND THEM ON THE IMAGIO. ANY THOUGHTS? TIRED OF HAVING TO MANUALLY SWITCH TO MY PREFERRED KEYBOARD 10 TIMES A MESSAGE. ALSO IS THERE A WAY TO ADD THE PHONE KEYPAD IN THE HORIZONTAL MODE? THANKS
