I'm right there with ya, bill - it's very pretty, but the predictive text is *so* annoying! seems pretty unneccessary for a qwerty keyboard to me - I thought it was interesting to learn that when i typed in 'internode', I actually meant 'interview'?!? :O Also I find the way it automatically adds spaces to be annoying, not very good in a terminal. It's a *big* improvement in terms of finger-pressability over the matchbox keyboard on 2007.2, and it's *much* prettier, but the predictive text makes it more difficult to use, especially in a terminal. I'd also really like to see an enter key on the qwerty page, and maybe (I know I'm pushing it here) a couple of the most commonly used symbols such as hyphen and period on the qwerty page. -Dale _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
