The slide out keyboard on the Nike is a qwerty keyboard....now...i don't know if i am asking as stupid question but i got the phone only 2 days ago after owning a Elf for a while...
My question is...the on screen keyboard allows you to use the keypad on screen to type a msg. Over the years i have memorized the positions of letters on the keypad and can blindly sms. Is there anyway that i can use the slide out keyboard to type using the keypad...or is it restricted to using the qwerty keyboard?
you mean using the keypad like a t9 like the sip program called Phonepad ?
Is it possible to change the layout of the keyboard when you write an sms?
It has now the qwerty in normal mode but I would like to have a keypad like on a normal phone(like t9 input mode) when writing sms with the X1(not to use the hardware keyboard)
all wm devices i've come across have been able to use phonepad
which does just what you request
dont see why x1 should not be able to use the same program
as keyboard
or any of the other 3th party onscreen keyboards for that matter
Eww why would you want to use T9 over the hardware keyboard anyway!

Not that easy to use when you drive a car or just have one hand free
Have you tried Resco keyboard pro?

Yes it is possible, you should have a small arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen, tap on this and then you can select from a variety of keyboards including a T9 one.

No there is no T9 keyboard on the Xperia - just the ordinary and very small WM keyboard
Install TouchPal and you got yourself a nice thumbfriendly T9 keyboard on the Xperia

It was there on the demo version I played with some weeks ago.
You mean that you could select it when you open up the keyboard menu by clicking the little keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen? There is only two options there - Symbol Pad and Keyboard (and then the Options..).

Then they had installed http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=25258, it is the keyboard from the Diamond and can be used and works fine. But not in Swedish
is there anyway i can get the HTC touch HD keypad? like the regular 9-key multi-tap keypad? so that i can text with out pulling out the keyboard or use the stylus. the x1 original keypay is way too small to type with fingers.
Is there a large qwerty style keypad for the Herald that can be used to type a msg without sliding out the keyboard or using a stylus?
Do you use deafult keyboard, better keyboard, swype keyboard, smart keyboard ?
what ?
thanks
Default. i wish there was a keyboard like fingerkeyboard for WM - fully customisable.
I don't actually like any keyboard for this phone but about the best one is Slide Keyboard and its free. The buttons are much larger than the standard and its easy to work out.
I'm hating default keyboard because i keep hitting settings button, plus predictive words won't work in all forms (like here, i can't get words predictions and i can't understand why)
I'll try slide keyboard
Thanks
EDIT: unfortunately the italian dictionary for slide keyboard is not "available" on the tattoo market !
