Im getting fed up of using a qwerty touchscreen keyboard to text, does anyone know if their is a mobile phone style touch screen app for windows mobile 6.5pro

I have an app for windows mobile 5 (i think it is) on my semi retired HTC touch.

What handset are you using?

Mine (Touch HD) has the option of switching between about 4 different keyboard types without add-ons.

Im on a samsung omnia II, it has 5 different options too 2 normal keyboards (The normal ms qwerty and a samsung qwerty), a psion type hand writing thing, and then handwriting recognition and another recognition one.

I just want to input using a 10 button standard mobile phone style keyboard and then use predictive text.

does it not change when you tilt the phone over?

mine changes between full QWERTY and normal mobile type depending on if you have the handset horizontal or vertical

I think it is T9. Will have a look at what I had on my WinMo phone, I tried most !

ISTR these are SIPs ? So a T9 SIP is what you want ?

My old HTC with Windows Mobile 5 has this option. Has text recognition, too, and it isn't too bad as it remembers regularly used words that might not be real... like "mooey".
