Hi,
could anybody help me?
I try to find a keyboard for 10 finger typing with MDA Compact. What I need is:
- full number of rows i.e. 5 rows incl. space because of local characters typing - not like e.g. Stowaway IR keyboard
- full 19 mm space between keys - not like e.g. Javoedge keyboard
- standard positioning of rows PC-like, for example space between "1" and "2" is approx in the middle of "Q" - not like e.g. HP ipaQ bluetooth keyboard
My ideal solution for TRGpro (Palm OS) was Targus Stowaway keyboard. For MDA compact I haven't found any... I even do not ask for foldable keyboard... Maybe a smaller, "notebook like" blutetooth keyboard.
Thank you for any help
Try the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Pro Keyboard.
ITs a bit big to carry, but its great as a keyboard and nice to type on.

Have you seen this

I also saw somewhere a gizmo that allows a full size keyboard to be used with pocket pc, dont know if that would help.

Thanks again, but for 10 finger typing without seeing you really need to be in touch with real keys.
Maybe something interesting for now
Hi, I have found "Motion's Bluetooth Mobile keyboard", see at: http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/motion_accessories.asp
They do not want to confirm that it will work with my MDA Compact, see the communication below. Could anybore more experienced here say it SHOUD work?
Thanks

Martin,
The keyboard should ideally work with any device using bluetooth. The reality of it however is that sometimes drivers conflict, and make it difficult to pair with certain devices. Our Bluetooth Keyboard is only tested for our tablet, but many people use it with other devices. We do not however make any guarantees that it will work with any device other than our tablets.
Thank you for contacting Motion Computing

I know it might sound obvious but the O2 BT foldable keyboard is truly excellent by all accounts (a colleague has one) - decent useable size but folds up reasonably small too.
Apple BT keyboard
I use a Apple pro keyboard (USB) on my thinkpad when I´m at home - and love it!
Can anybody confirm that it works with the Magician?
No phone has USB host, so no the USB keyboard will not work.
You need a Bluetooth Keyboard at least.
I was talking about the bluetooth version of that apple keyboard (which I don`t own) I know that (at least the software) of the phone doesn`t support usb host capacity. Sorry if I didn`t make myself clear...
So, anybody ever used the keyboard with the mini?

Fuh, seems still no solution for me: I am not sure about O2 BT foldable keyboard branding, but I think this is the keyboard with the shifted upper row (see my first post)
- Btw no response from Motion after I had asked them about the international delivery possiblity
... and Apple bluetooth keyboard is really too big to fit to my briefcase.

I'll check and try to get you a photo.
I recently upgraded my phone to HTC HD2. My phone before was Samsung Omnia i900. My problem is I'm not liking the keyboards (only 3 keyboards) on the HD2, I keep making many mistakes. On the Omnia I think there were 5 or 6 different keyboards. The keyboard I used the most on the Omnia was, Samsung Phonepad, I found it very easy to use. My question: Is it possible to have this keyboard on the HTC or something similar?
Or if anyone can recommend another keyboard I would be very grateful.
Thx
A good keyboard is the FingerKeyboard (which can be found in this section).
However it might be usefull to ask this question in the HD2 section of the forum instead of the HD1 section

Thank you, I didn't realise I was in the HD1 section.
Just got a PM about the leaked R3 virtual keyboard from an XDA member, and I realized that many might not even know about its existance. So what virtual keyboard to you guys use? X2, "leaked R3", HTC, Fingerboard, or a third party keyboard?
In case you didn't know about the official Xperia offerings here are pics and links.
X1's leaked R3 keyboard... which has a T9 option unlike the X2 version I believe.

X2's keyboard

X2's keyboard also has other keyboard layouts. Hold "123" button (if i remember correctly) and you'll get their list.
But anyway I prefer using HTC's EzInput

Really? I'm surprised you prefer the HTC keyboard. My turn off to the HTC keyboard has been the inclusion of arrow buttons, that take up precious space on our X1s that already have both a hardware DPAD and an optical pad. the size issue made it difficult to use on my old HTC Pure/Diamond 2 with its 3.2" screen and its even more difficult for me to use on the X1's smaller 3.0" screen. I had to use a software keyboard as primary input for a brief period when my HW keyboard was acting up, and HTC's was a huuuuuge pain due to buttons being tiny due to the inclusion of an onscreen DPAD. I have Resco keyboard, but I may just experiment with the R3 and X2 keyboards.
I'm using HTC keyboard, probably because it's already included in my ROM and i'm too lazy to install another one.
If keyboard would not be installed, i would use default WM keyboard and use hardware kb for every small thing. And if i would have to install one, i would install X2 keyboard.
Sir how can I install that R3 Keyboard? Does it have Alpha numeric keys like on nokia? Iam having difficulties in typing in HTC form. I am using WM6.5xx...Please need help. thanks

Yes, it does have T9 input (alphanumeric keys). Just install this cab http://rapidshare.com/files/210068347/OEM_SE_XPeria_Keyboard.CAB on your phone, and that should be all.
can somebody please reupload this file? the files seems to be deleted by rapidshare
The keyboard of my choice is the Resco Keyboard. I consider it almost perfect. I hardly ever have to flip out the hardware keyboard.
I heard the keyboard for WP7 is nice by default and ill find that out when i get my phone in a couple days but i was wondering if there will be any other keyboards for WP7 like Android has SWYPE. Do you think they will come with the upcoming updates , apps on the marketplace, or with the WP7 "Jailbreak"?
There are no other keyboards available at this time.
However, I can say that the WP7 keyboard is, in my opinion, the finest software keyboard on the market, hands down.
Swype and the HTC IME keyboards on android are good.. but they pale in comparison to this one in my experience.
Agree 100%.
The buttons are not bigger than Android..but I seem to be able to type more accurately on WP7. No idea why. Nice, nontheless.
I've bought my device (HTC HD7) in Germany and it doesn't have Cyrillic keyboard. It's not a problem for me to use English interface, device supports displaying Cyrillic fonts but I can't type text on two Cyrillic languages which I'm using the most.
Do not having the ability to add Cyrillic keyboard at the moment is THE MOST ANNOYING thing with the device. I simply can't use it for basic needs like writing SMS or e-mail to somebody on my native language. When buying the device I thought that It shouldn't be a problem adding a keyboard but now I am very disappointed. Need to use second device (old Nokia smartphone) each time when I should write something on Cyrillic on the way. Ironically, HD7 does not support sharing Internet connection to my secondary device, so I have to pay for two Internet-enabled plans which makes me completely unhappy.
Is any way to help me without selling the device back?
Hi guys, do you know how can I get Russian keyboard on my spanish WP7 LG e900?
thanks!

are wp7 devices sold in countries that use that language? If not, I'm not sure you will get any support from microsoft until they are.

From about three weeks of use so far, I'd say it's the second-best software keyboard I've ever used, after the iPhone keyboard. I can usually type faster than I could on the HTC keyboards on WM and Android. On the iPhone I could type without even looking down because the autocorrect works amazingly well for the most part-- not quite there yet on WP7 (despite a physically larger screen and thus keyboard), but almost.
For now, there's no way to replace the keyboard, though for standard use, you probably won't need a replacement one. Makes sense for non-Latin characters, but WP7 basically lacks Unicode support (very few character sets built in), so it can't do much for non-Latin scripts anyway.
I find WP7 to have the second best keyboard ever, too. But, I disagree in that I find it more accurate than the iPhone keyboard (or at least better at autocorrection). I find the autocorrect makes fewer contextual errors and will allow many intentional strange words while correcting most typing errors.
However, the keyboard on my Blackberry 9700 still rocks the Optimus 7
I dunno, but I don't think I will ever be as efficient in typing on the virtual keyboard as the real one. Aside from accuracy, it is simply far easier to enter common symbols (like quotes, dollar signs, dashes, and parenthesis) and numbers. Parltly because physical keys allows for more accurate smaller keys. Also, having a real mouse-like cursor is massively useful for typing and editing.
Ok fine, yes, there are WP7 devices with slider keyboards, but I dislike sliders... yes, yes, I'm picky.

Hello Guys.
Windows phone 7 dosen't come with Danish language, so that means the keyboard of course doesn't support æ,ø,å, which is used in the Danish language. I wonder if anyone in here has further developed the keyboard, so there is no need for holding O to get Ø?
Some one got a solution, please let me know
Best Regards,
Alexander W.
hey. search for native keyboard...
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
You can hold "a" to get ae and the other one. Unfortunately I don't know if you can make something a default.
Why not just buy the Danish keyboard app from Windows Phone 7 Marketplace?
