Another possible keyboard

2009-02-17 Thread Xavier Cremaschi
Hi all,

I have tested the Nokia 5800 xpressmusic, and its small keyboard looks 
like this :
http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/all-about-symbian-review_-nokia-5800-xpressmusic-preview-part-1-1.jpg

It is quite usable with finger (not nail, not thumb, but the index 
finger), I made very few typo with it (I was not moving) :
- the system seems to detect the pressure point quite well
- no predictive keyboard behind
- 360x640 pixels, so not wider than FR.

Another thing which is quite comfortable : the haptic feedback.
When you click on something, the phone vibrate, but it doesn't feel like 
a vibration but more like a 0.5mm nudge... it feels solid.

Xavier (just want to share).

Hello,

It looks good, thanks for sharing!

Insofar outlay is concerned, I find the outlay of the following
alternative illume default keyboard to be a lot better than the original
layout:

When you install it, it does not overwrite or replace the original default
keyboard, but give you a default-alt option in the selectable keybord
list. I find this layout to be very thumb-friendly, and I can quite
rapidly and accurately type text messages with one or two thumbs. Accuracy
with thinner fingers are even better in my experience. I'm quite sure that
people with big hands and thick fingers could comfortably use this layout.
