Dear WinMo lovers, i need some advise
I am a UK vodafone customer and my contract is due for renewal. I am stuck picking BB storm or Xperia or getting Touch HD through a website which i have to wait for, i love xperia but it has some drawbacks for as follows
Is the screen too narrow? How is the text inputing using only the touch screen?
I will be gratefull for any advise and information.
It is pretty small using just the touchscreen. Not easy if you have bad eyes or shaky hands or if you are sitting in a train. I only use the keyboard now.
You can download some alternative software keyboards which are more touch screen user friendly than the standard built in one though.
The t9 input is fine for use one handed and teh other keyboards are usable. The built in microsoft one neccssitates the use of the stylus. For one handed use the only real option is the on screen T9 and for two handed you can use the hardware keyboard.
Thanks a lot everyone then it's a no go for me. the storm either. i guess i am stuck with my old curve 8310 then.
Hmm but u can download better on screen keyboards pretty easily and have it automatically switch to it everytime the phone starts up

But why would you want to use an on-screen keyboard when the sliding QWERTY one can get the job done way faster, whenever you want to write something?
I'm seriously thinking about buying an X1 and the on-screen keyboard's usability is the last thing to consider.
The Blackstone keyboards from the other thread here are a huge improvement over standard.
Just install the Touch HD keyboards - they're already available for the Xperia (I have them on my Xperia). Beautiful to use, much better than the awful standard one it comes with.
So basically if you're thinking about keyboards then the Xperia wins hands-down. It has a hardware QWERTY, but can run the Touch HD ones if you want it to.
I read an article about multitouch on HTC dream and I researched a lots about it.
yesterday, i found that i can touch 2 point on my TP2.
I thought why don't we make the simulator multitouch on TP2 like HTC Dream.
we are xda developer
Lets make it with me.
now im making Sim Mul app, but i dont have HD2, so i don't know exactly how it work on Wm device.
if you have any documents, pm me.
check out the multitouch on diamond and dream:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT-npF3r5B8
the dream has a capacative touch screen, as is the navipad for the diamond, so no go for our resistive touch screens. I can image why you want it given the scroll bar on the tp2
hello all, as i know that hd2 is multitouch and i get a paint application multitouch "l3v5yMultiTouchDemo.CAB" and i saw it runing as multitouch in the youtube video on hd2, but i install it on my htc2 and it doesnt work as multitouch only one finger can paint, if any seconf touch it will stop, what is wrong here, is ther a driver to be installed or is my device not multitouch or the hd2 not multitouch???what did i miss?
writing or painting on the HD2 screen does not work very smooth. Not even with only one finger. .
it's not about smoothness, if you watch this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4IkVp3uWtE you know what i mean, here it's possible to multitouch the hd2, in my case using same application, i can draw with one finger, but once i put the second to choose color or draw, it stop to respond until i release one of the fingers, so it's not working at multitooch, any idea?
i just installed the "SciLor's Multi Touch Test v3.CAB" dunno if this matter or not, but now both app are working as multitouch
Hi,
I recently got the slide and I see it comes with android 2.1 with htc sense and some tmobile skin(eh).
Is it possible to somehow remove this skin and only leave the 2.1 and htc sense?
thanks!(hope this is the right place to ask this)

well it doesnt come with htc sense it comes with tmobile slide wich is there version of sense so i dont think it would be possible to do that without removing the slide ui as well you can install a different launcher from the market but then the "sense" will be gone no more widegets nothing so as of right now you have to have it all or have none of it at all.
oh and this belongs in the mytouch slide forum near the bottom of the main forum page im sure a mod will move it there soon
The widgets may still reside just not the same ui if you use a different launcher, honestly I don't like the slide that's why I didn't get it...
Wondering if the sense 3 will come a day..
Okay, now this happens regardless of the OS on the phone - Android, Windows Mobile, or Windows Phone.
Basically, when I start trying to type quickly on the HD2, it can't keep up and starts missing out letters etc. but when typing with the same speed on another phone (e.g. an iPhone or a Galaxy SII) they have no trouble keeping up.
Now, is this a fault with my phone or is it that the touch screen just uses older technology and isn't as responsive?
try to use a "multi touch" keyboard for whatever platform you are using and see if that helps.
i think NO such keyboard exists for WM6.5.
i KNOW several such keyboards exist for Android...the HTC Sense keyboard included in most Sense-based Android roms for the HD2 is NOT multi touch, look for "gingerbread keyboard" on the market place. it also works on froyo roms!
for non-Sense-based Android roms for the HD2, most of them come with the stock gingerbread keyboard out of the box, which IS multi touch. if you are using froyo, see previous paragraph!
i think WP7 keyboard is already multi touch.
finally, the HD2 screen hardware can only handle up to TWO touches, which should be ok for typing fast, provided the keyboard is multi touch.
and, if you are already using a multi touch keyboard but desire a bit more responsiveness, consider disabling prediction, auto correction, typewriter sound, and vibration. some keyboards also support "calibration", so you can run that to see if it can learn your finger tap patterns to tune the keyboard's response.
Thanks for the information.
I've already tried the HTC Sense keyboard (currently running Sense 3.5), Gingerbread keyboard, and ICS keyboard, but none of them seem any better than each other.
I have tried calibrating the Sense keyboard, but you say that it doesn't support multi-touch anyway so it doesn't seem like it will be of much use. I don't use vibration feedback or the typewriter sound ever, but I'd find it hard not to use prediction or auto-correction.
From instinct I'd say that this seems far more likely to be a hardware problem than a software problem, so I think it is probably just that the HD2's screen is only 2-point multi-touch, whereas other phones I've tried like the Galaxy SII are 4+. So there's probably not really anything I can do to change this.
Thanks anyway though

hi, i had the same problem before. using swiftkey X will help alot.
otherwise, try to unbox heptic feedback(vibration) on your keyboard...since its (in fact) the vibrations that cant keep up with us fast typers
btw, my girlfriend loves my fast fingers

I bet she does
I actually bought Swiftkey X when it was on sale a while back - I wasn't amazingly impressed but I'll try it again now. Thanks for reminding me.
And yeah, I don't like using vibration on the keyboard anyway so I keep that turned off. Probably saves battery too.
