Which PIM do you use? If you use PCM keyboard, you can make the layout of the keyboard do smileys via the hidden keys. If you hold down on certain buttons on the keyboard, it reveals hidden keys that you can just drag your finger accross to highlight and let go to select it. In this layout hold down the period button to get to the two smileys. Here are the skins and layout that I use. If you don't like the layout or want to add more smileys, tranfer the .layout file to your pc. Then rename it with .txt at the end of the file. Open that file up as a text and you will see the line with the hidden keys .com, .net, .org, smileys, etc. Just replace the ones you don't need with your wanted smileys. Save the file, and rename it again this time erasing the .txt and leaving .layout at the end of the file. Transfer that back to your phone and PCM folder and you can now choose that layout. This works great with the SMS Smiley program.
