Missing a real Keyboard?
 
So how did you guys(girls) get over it lol. I am coming from a blackjack2 and still trying to get this thing to type like I could on that. Any suggestions? I am using the PhonePad+T9. Speaking of any way to shrink the onscreen keypads/boards?

Thanks!

You might trial TouchPal or one of the other replacement keyboards out there. TouchPal is available here: http://www.cootek.com/

It takes a little bit to get the hang of it but stick with it and it starts coming to you and you starting texting fast!

Beware though you'll want to stay in portrait mode. It does not yet support Omnia's landscape resolution so it's too small to use. Portrait is great! They've announced they are working on an Omnia fix FWIW.

I've tried a few different keyboards but I always end up going back to the Samsung Keypad. I love the 20 key setup and it works great in landscape too. It took me a little bit to get good with the 20 key setup instead of the phone pad 9 key setup but it's pretty good.

Just installed this, seems decent if you can get over the learning curve?

I second the spb keyboard recommendation. I like the landscape full screen mode. Buttons are nice and big.

However, I actually find myself using transcriber a lot. It's not so bad if you have your stylus handy (admittedly an issue on the Omnia missing the stylus holder).
