T9 Multi tap Input?

Does anyone know if this is supported (old style 'real keys' texting)?

I've never had an Android phone before so I don't know if it's QWERTY only, many thanks for the help!
I have done a search but can't find anything, plus for some reason the XDA side goes a bit 'wonky' on my work computer (links/image/searches` not showing).

You get 3 Options (much like on windows mobile) :
1) Full QWERTY (which works absolutely great btw)
2) Mini QWERTY (like on the blackberrys)
3) Keypad/T9

I would highly recommend the swype keyboard.
As a G1 owner I was convinced I wasn't going to get a phone without a real keyboard untill I used it - and it's only because I find it so easy to use, and fast, that I am now going to upgrade to the Desire.

See I went from a 'normal' phone to the X1 so I'm used to a 'really' keyboard or T9 multi tap and was worried about not being able to text correctly!
The other question I have (not really related to the keyboard) is about the resolution difference between the Desire and the Legend.
I prefer the look of the Legend and it's size however after having an x1 with it's high resolution (though tiny 3" screen) I'm worried that I would find the Legends lower resolution inferior to the x1, which had naturally lead me to the Desire, however I'm concerned about the overall size.
What do you guys think, does HVGA look rubbish on a 3.2" screen or is it fine compared to the like of the Sony Ericssons x1 3" WVGA?!?

Obviously, the pixel density is significantly higher on the X1 compared to the Legend so you will notice a difference. I suppose the best thing for you to do is to go to a store and play with the Hero which has the same screen size and resolution. See if that's ok with you. Keep in mind that the Legend's screen will be supposedly crisper due to the AMOLED.
Personally, I think the pixel density on the Legend/Hero is fine. This is coming from someone who's used to high pixel density of the Diamond and Touch Pro2.

Many thanks for coming back to me, I might nip into a shop when the phones are out. The only problem is that I live in Northern Ireland and sometimes it's hard to find a shop which sells 'smart' phones, it's usually just iphones and nokias!

galaxy tab stylus for 70IT ?

Hi !
Does anyone knows if the galaxy tab stylus (the same as here : http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/28/galaxy-tab-bluetooth-stylus-emerges-up-for-49-99-pre-order/) may work on the archos 70 IT ? And if there's an application to take hand-written notes ?
Thanks !

Any stylus made for capacitive screens should work.
I haven't tried any note taking apps so I can't recommend one to you sorry.

I would never buy anything that expensive when I could achieve the same results with something much cheaper. Found a 3 pack for $2.90 versus $80... Did I miss something?

The point is that most of the capacitive stylus I know have a very round and very large end... not very usable to write. This one is sharper, and seems easier to use as a real pen than the other ones...

Any capacitive stylus will work, including the DIY ones using conductive foam.
The problem is that the screen isn't really responsive enough for note taking. I don't know if it's a problem with the digitizer itself, or the software implementation, but in either case it's too slow.
If you write very slowly, it might work (see upper part of image).
If you write at a normal pace or even quickly, it definitely won't work (see lower part of image).

Ok thanks for your answers... I guess I'd just keep typing on the keyboard ^^

excuse me JasonOT,
I downloaded same app to write but the 4 option button of the Archos Interface on my tablet cover the ap option. Have you got a tip for me to see settings or option of the ap ?
Thanks

I use Graffiti by Access, it's in the Market. Works good for me, being an old Palm user, and I have not had delay/lag problems.

Just a note, the difference between the stylus referenced and the ones being talked about are that the referenced stylus is bluetooth and uses a bluetooth connection (and likely software) to work on the Galaxy Tab. The cheap ones are simply capacitive pens and work with the digitizer of the device. I'm guessing the bluetooth stylus would allow you to write on any surface and it would show up on the Galaxy Tab screen. Like those "smart pens" or whatever they are called for note taking and what-not.

[Q] Bluetooth keyboard?

So, I've been looking for a way to use my Cappy to take notes in classes, instead of my laptop. Searching on Google brought up a Youtube video of a Apple bluetooth keyboard working with the Samsung Vibrant (still newbie, can't post links).
Does anyone how or if this is possible with the Captivate? If not, does anyone know of a good alternative for under $50?

xda>captivate>accessories (aka where this post is) look down a few posts... theres already a few.

I would think it works. Bluetooth is a pretty universal technology and as far as I know, the Vibrant and Captivate are near identical. I know there will be some internal changes for the different frequencies and some exterior styling differences, but fundamentally the same.

Yeah, I should have mentioned in the OP that the Dinovo mini keyboard and similars are not really what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for something closer to a netbook-size keyboard.

ebay search : "mini bluetooth keyboard" theres all sorts of sizes

Ok, thanks, do you (or anyone else) know if the bluetooth keyboard being sold for Ipad (it's being sold as 'Slim Wireless Mini Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad Mac PC') will work with the Captivate?
Seems like a great option, given the price and portability.

I've used my desktop Bluetooth keyboard with my phone without any issues. I would wager that ANY Bluetooth keyboard would work. I also used a Bluetooth mouse. That was cool, a mouse pointer shows up on the screen.
There must be literally hundreds of options for Bluetooth keyboards. Just check out Amazon, or Google shopper.
Just like memory is universal I bet Bluetooth accessories are universal. People slap compatibility on anything, "micro SD card for Captivate", "AC to USB adapter for iPod", etc. I bet the iPad keyboard would work fine.

So, I bought the keyboard I mentioned and it works great.
Only problem is I can't use the keyboard's accents (tilde, for example). Is there any key mapping app I can use?

the red accents? hold FN while pushing other buttons. its not a toggle its a hold+

[Q] Any hope for physical keyboard accessory?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone how to contact Samsung for requesting them to design an official accessory? Or even an after market company if its interested in making physical (bluetooth?) keyboard for Galaxy note.
Something like this:

I don't think anyone buying Galaxy note is concerned about the size or thickness of such accessory and probably it can make gripping the phone easier. Also, it is possible to add more battery juice with such design. With all that in mind, I think there is a great market for such accessory for this phone or other phones in general.
What do you think about this? and Do you know any contact info for samsung (Not the customer service - I want to contact someone who takes my words seriously) or other companies to ask them for such accessory?
Brief info (You can skip it):
I really got tired from waiting for mobile with dual-core (now seems: quad cores are coming), good GPU, 1GB RAM & with sd-card extendability and decent screen with physical keyboard and good battery. After long time waiting, Galaxy Note came to meet my needs, but with only one major thing missing for me a physical keyboard. After seeing a physical case for iPhone, I said why there can't be any for Galaxy note? and here I am writing new thread about this.​

OMG this accessory is my DREAM.
Is theire any keybord like this compatible with the Galaxy S2 ???

eBay and Google might help you in this. Yesterday, I couldn't find one for Samsung Galaxy (Only for TAB like dock) or anything rather than iPhone.

First, thanks for this useful post.
I think I needed to be more specific about this, the keyboard should be in case. I mean when you need it, you slide it out and when finish get it in. Like Droids(milestones) and Xperia Pro/Play.
It is really annoying to carry bt keyboard with you all the time (as the official bt keyboard).
By the way, Logitech keyboard doesn't seems particle. Having it seems better than nothing and I'll need to think about it more. Also, Do you think it going to fit with Galaxy note?
Edit: it seems the guy with the keyboard (Logitech diNovo Mini) attached it to his dell streak with tape.

The Logitech keyboard looks amazing. I think i will buy it and test with my Note. But it's pretty expensive. So it will take some time.
I like physicall keyboards, and I think for such a big device like the Note you can create a great keyboard, better then HTC's.

I found on amazon some interesting bluetooth keyboards. And much cheaper. Honestly they cost min. 30 €.
I think i will order one in sone weeks for testing. If it will be good, i think i can make a matching case myself.

Anyone managed to hardhack the diNovo Mini and the Note together ?

Great keyboard but expensive ... I'm looking this with Azerty keyboard and more cheaper ...

New Xperia Play with keyboard and gamepad?

Sony has a new patent, this is how it looks like:

What do you think?

they submitted this is 2010 or 2011 i believe so dont go thinking its the xplay replacement just yet its been around aslong as the xplay idea.
but sounds good but in use would probably be hell 2 sliders just sounds like its going break easily.

As it stated in the article, just because its a patent doesnt mean Sony will use it. But I must admit my last 2 android phones had hardware keyboards and i just used the GameGripper to overlay my phones keyboard, map out my keys and play my emus. But when I saw the Xperia PLAY I was like I can live with a touchscreen control if I have the gamepad.... and never looked back.

Still the dual sliding if it works out well and it becomes a reality it could be pretty sweet. But I am taking it with a grain of salt until its confirmed... never the less...... good find and thanks for sharing!

I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing's happening D=

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/27/sony-dual-slider-patent/
here is a much reliable source for you people and on a much more current date

If they make something like that, let's hope it's designed so the ribbon cables on the inside don't break as easily as they do now. I've seen too many play users fall victim to that design, including myself.
I think having a qwerty AND a gamepad would be amazing. The phone might end up being really bulky though. If that's the case Sony might skimp out on the battery to save space.. Yikes.
Qwerty pads are a must-have for some people and would probably give them a larger market. I personally considered getting an xperia pro, or galaxy glide at one point.
Mind you, I only use Swype these days. But, it would be good to have one for those times when the hands are moist, and the digitizer decides to be overly sensitive.
