You know, my bro has a Blackberry Pearl with a keypad like this and I tried to do something simple like type 'www.ebay.com' and before i could even finish the URL I got so frustrated I gave him the phone back and told him to do it. I guess I am spoiled with my full QWERTY keypad. Im sure it works well if you ever get used to it. THX though bro.

This was brought up in another thread. Thought about making it into it's own thread, but I didn't. Glad someone did.
I've been using this too. I prefer the QWERTY keyboard of the 6700, but I'm trying to get use to using the touch screen since there is a high possibilty my next phone will be the HTC Vogue.
It definitely takes some getting use to, but I've got it down pretty good. Still type faster on the slide out keyboard though.

Like you said, it's pretty cool for a free SIP. I haven't noticed any bugs yet,
but I did have to install SIPChange in order to get it stay as the default SIP.

Yeah, I agree typing on the slide out keyboard is way better, but if you are restricted to only 1 hand, this is definitely the best alternative.

i really like this app. But, it causes the PocketCM to not work when i enter text with it. it disables my 'send', 'back' and top menu buttons when i have it selected in PocketCM. It works great within any other app. this is sweet
