Re: Want TouchPro's low profile soft-keyboard? Here it is (.zip & comparison PICTURES

i tried it out for the rest of today, but i found myself making so many more errors, especially with hitting the shift key instead of the 7 (pqrs), as well as hitting return instead of backspace... i don't think that the gain of a few pixels is worth the added concentration needed, because i text a lot while i drive and i don't want to have to look at what i'm typing while i'm typing it.

Sorry it didn't work out for you. After about fiften minutes of getting used to the new distance relationship, I found myself actually faster and more accurate because there is less distance to move between the keys.

As I wrote before, and as a general statement, I wouldn't recommend this for people with larger or thicker fingers.

I think, because the Touch Pro has a seperate hardware keyboard, they deployed this more compact keyboard to give way to more desktop space. What I especially welcome is the exposed character count while text'ing.
