TouchPal VS. SPB Full Screen Keyboard

What are your opinions?

I find that SPB keyboard is pretty easy to type on, and in time I will be able to get to the same speed as on a physical keyboard. However the fact that it takes up the whole screen is kind of a bummer, especially when you need to tab through multiple fields.

TouchPal is nice because it only takes up half the screen, however when I use the keys on the far right or left and have to swipe twards the outer edge it doesn't always register which can be frustrating.

Any one else have any ideas/ suggestions?

I cant get TouchPal working on the helmi_c version of wm6 that was released...can anyone else get it to work?

Do a search on here for SIP Changer, it is available also at xda-forums. Once you get that it'll work, don't forget to do a soft reset.

I've never really been a fan of SPB's products to be honest. TouchPal has worked great since I've started using it.

really? I just downloaded pocket plus and I like it a lot. I don't use all of the functions but it has a lot of features that MS should have put into the OS. Like scrolling contacts, x close, and tabbed IE.

i like spb. pocket + 4.0 is a favorite of mine. i did use spb keyboard for a while. tring to get reddy for the touch. i liked it better than the TouchPal. to quote the first poster... when I use the keys on the far right or left and have to swipe twards the outer edge it doesn't always register which can be frustrating.
