HappyTapping / iphone keyboard on Cruise

Haven't found a thread on this anywhere else.
Has anyone tried the HappyTapping keyboard on the Cruise and can confirm it's compatibility and usability on this HTC model?
Advice much appreciated, don't really like any of the inclded keybaords.

iPhone keyboard...hmm... IMHO it will never work on WM devices.
But if You want keyboard with "pop-up" letters, may be You should try PocketCM keyboard - http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php

Also give Cootek TouchPal a try I am sure you will like it.

Resco Keyboard includes an Iphone keyboard and it works great (I know it's commercial but...)

I like this one the most..tryed the other ones and this one is the best at the moment.
Also im from the netherlands and it supports a dutch language pack.

is there any keyboard with 'responce'? a sork of vibrating or sth else which vividly shows you have actually pressed it?

so...

whats a good keyboard to use like a iphone keyboard and i tried one but it didnt work? any help advice?

If you're talking about an on-screen keyboard I would go for TouchPal. Just google it and you'll find it.
Now the new version asks to buy it but you can still use it and it's the only one I use .

There's this one which isn't too bad -

I mainly use the HTC Touch keyboard which you can find in this thread -

If you decide to use both, you'll have to install the PCM one first or it will mess up the HTC one...for me at least.

TouchPal is an awesome keyboard that I just recently came across
http://www.cootek.com/
There was a link to it somewhere here on XDA and they were saying it's well worth taking a little time to get used to and after using it I fully agree.
My personal favorite so far is SlideIt. It's incredible but it has one major drawback, it's $40

It's nice because you just drag your stylus or finger over the letters of the word, you don't have to be exact and it has excellent predictive capabilities.

By far the touchkey board is the best!!!! I had a black like it but it had something called x9 and i hated it!!! But touchkey board is the best!!!!! Works better then touchpal just because it was designed with touchflo in mind..

I use Resco Keyboard with the iSkin and it works great.

The best input method???

Which input method do you use? which 3rd party keyboard is better than the htc? And how do you use it (with two thumbs or one, ladscape or portrait)?

I like Resco's keyboard. It's very finger friendly but has quite a few qwerks on my Blackstone. It's all personal preference. Play with several of them & decide for yourself.

TOUCHPAL from Cootek. The best!!!

How will touchpal work if I want to input Chinese and Japanese?
I use the standard HD keypad but also have CE-Star
Ofiaich

TouchPal is the best.....
Only thing is on my HD it wont stay as default keyboard

ezinput 2.0

For windows mobile?
I used SPB keyboard before I moved to Android. The buttons were pretty big, and the landscape mode was nice.

I use FingerKeyboard, I really like how it covers the soft keys to save space.

Touchpal is the best if you want the two-letter T9. There is also EZInput 2.0 that pcarvallo put out for qvga a while ago. It's very nice.

I use the Diamond keyboard for the WinMo, and for android I use the HTC_ime

I like the Resco Pro. Free download (trial)

I love the pcm keyboard (pocket contact manager keyboard). It was highly recommended when I got my Touch. I almost sent it in the first day and week for hating the keyboards, then found lots of posts recommending pcm, downloaded and kept the phone. It's free. i just turn off the text prediction and auto replace.

For Windows Mobile, FingerKeyboard is the best and it's free. You can read my review of it here: http://thismobilelife.com/?p=129.
For Android I like the HTC keyboard.

FingerKeyboard is indeed most excellent, but I find the keys in Resco's Pro version easier to use.
Download the free trial that I provided in this link, check it out, and let me know what you think.

Anyways to improve virtual keyboard?

Hello.
I have always thought that virtual keyboard on Android was too slow/sluggish. I have tried keyboard from stock 1.5, HERO & 1.6. They all feel same. slow/sluggish.
I was reading this blog...
http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2009/08/07/virtual-keyboards-on-iphone-and-android/
and it is so true.
Now I am wondering if there is any fix? solution? to get it perform better with faster responsiveness?
Thank you.

use "better keyboard" from the market. you won't be disappointed. plus all the skins to choose from is a big plus.

I thought better keyboard was just a skinning ?
But is it actually a different keyboard?

Better Keyboard is a different keyboard app, just like HTC is different. There are a lot of skins available for Better Keyboard app.
There is a free keyboard called softkeyboard that you can try as well.

Just lost your chance at a free touchpal download, but it is my favorite by far.
