what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

3.5 or 4

I currently have 3.5 and tried 4.0 for like a day and remembered I didn't like it so I went back to 3.5. I was thinking of trying it again though. Its been a few months since the release and was just wondering what some of your thoughts were.

bump, does anyone use Touchpal anymore?

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

I'm still using 3.5 and waiting to see what they'll do about the rewrite that V4 badly needs. The V4 release has had zero bug fixes because they're busy writing the Android version, and I'm just fine using the one that works.

That's the first program I install after a ROM flash! Still using 3.5.

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

I'm using Touch Pal exclusively I tried V4 and didn't like it so I'm back on 3.5 and loving it.

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

Dang it, Im on v4 and never tried 3.5, but every post ive read says its better. I need to find the cab to go back, why would they make something worse than it already is?

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

What bugs have you experienced? I personally prefer v4. To me it seems more responsive and smoother. I think the swiping options on v3.5 were betterm but not enough to outweigh the improved speed and usability of v4 IMO.

I've read a few things people didn't like with 4.0 such as "3.5 can show the next word inline. I find this very very helpful. 4 does not have this option"

For me, it was the fact they removed " - _ : ; ( ) \ and @ from the main layout page.

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

Personally I have used TouchPal since ver 3 and I prefer 4 so it is all a matter of taste. I personally don't see what everyone doesn't like about 4 its got everything 3.5 had and more. Personally the trade off was OK as I got some really useful buttons on the main screen and those other characters can still be gotten to easily.

I use 3.5, I tried 4.0 & hated it (most long time users hated it). I agree totally with this statement:

I made my own skin for 3.5 & see no reason to ever switch to any other version at this point.

I'm not sure what you're talking about with "improved speed", there is no speed difference between the two versions??

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

I agree John. There is no apparent difference in speed betwen 3.5 and 4 and to a longtime user (since TouchPal came out) the changes in the keyboard layout IMO were too much to adapt to.

but the landscape mode would be nice...

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

Personally I never have used it in landscape. Even when I was running it on my 6700. I used it instead of the hardware KB "preparing" for the Touch. Funny enough, I miss the keyboard. Looking at the Touch Pro 2 now. I think it would be funny if TouchPal wouldn't work on the Pro 2 because of the resolution.

I'm using 3.5, I have been a touchpal user going on 3 years.

I wish they would fix problems 3.5 has with windows mobile 6.5. The only adding the first letter of the first word when replying to a threaded txt is annoying. I've made it a habit to press backspace before I start typing, this seems to help.

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

I use 3.5

Re: what version of Touchpal do you prefer
 

I'm not sure what you're talking about here.

I use TP 3.5 in WM 6.5 & I don't see what you're describing at all??

I get this intermittently. I haven't been able to isolate what causes it.
