How Usable is the Keyboard on the Touch??
 
Let's take a poll of people's initial impressions of usability of the onscreen keyboard.

The only downside I see to the keyboard is the fact that you lose 60% of your screen. As for typing I think it's great.

I can deal with that.. How fast can you type....fast enough to keep up in an instant messaging convo?

Thanks!

Yeah once you get used to the keyboard. It takes a bit of practice to get it down fast, plus teach the TX9 words you want, but yes with the little bit of practice I've had I'm almost as fast as I was with the Mogul full keyboard.

good to hear. is the TX9 any different than the predictive text on other WM6 devices?

I don't remember any XT9 that was a winmo default. It works really well similar to the Blackberry's Predictive text on their keyboards that had two letters per button. To type a number or symbol in predictive text mode all you have to do is hold the button for about 2 solid seconds till it puts it in.

Does anyone know where I can get the Touch Keyboard so I can try installing it on my Mogul to see if I would like the Touch or not?

There's a thread on the software forum where you can find it. Don't forget to search ;)

I'm running the keyboard on my Mogul.

I'd say its average. I extremely dislike the two letter per key suretype-style board... the XT9 on 12 key isn't TOO terrible but its NOWHERE near the speed of me typing on my Mogul.

I've been using Touchpal on my Mogul (it's posted on the software forum). I believe it would be an option to people that want to switch but do not agree well with the Touch keyboard.
