it is similar to the iphone keyboard, but its works great in a pinch. however the software maker, pocket gear wants you to use like button six to pull up the keyboard. i want to be able to push the keyboard button at the bottom of the lower taskbar in the middle. that should activate my full screen keyboard. i need this fixed and my life becomes easier.
here is the keyboard by the way

dont worry i didnt pay for it
i am happy with my pocketcm keyboard
im not plz help
Spb, The developer of the keyboard has a forum & support dedicated to their software....
Unless by "Don't worry I didn't pay for it" is a admission that you used a KeyGen in which case you should note this forum's strict policy against WAREZ....
I don't know if everyone else has incredibly small fingers, but I had trouble using the on screen keyboard with my digits without pressing the wrong buttons all the time. Secondly, I found navigating with the Kaiser when docked in a car or a holder to be a complete bind. Trying to do something like a telephone call was way more difficult than my old Nokia 6230i
I just wanted to say that I am now finally happy with my Kaiser after doing the following 4 things:
Installing KaiserTweak and modifying settings such as TouchFlo sensitivity and backlight settings
Installing PointUI for finger based navigation
Installing PocketCM Contacts - This ties in nicely with PointUI's interface and filled in a feature that PointUI desperately lacked
Installing PocketCM Keyboard to stop my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons.
I can now use my Kaiser completely from the screen without having to revert to the stylus or the keypad, which is very useful when it is docked somewhere like in the car.
I just wanted to let others know in case they were having the same problems as I had.
Regards,
Rob
I still use the slide out keyboard once and a while but I instead use the following:
spb Mobile Shell 2.0
Resco Keyboard (iPhone skin)

I wasn't aware of those products and they are definitely worth considering. The Resco keyboard appears to work in a very similar way to the PocketCM Keboard with a couple of added features as far as I can see.
also something to consider is the big start menu and long endkey.
and i use finger friendly friends instead of pocketcm contacts because it is alot faster.
the spb mobile shell works really good spb also has a onscreen keyboard that works pretty sweet
I've been sold by FFF. The speed and on screen keyboard accuracy is the best that I have seen for finger usage. If anyone has any other finger usability improvement programs they'd like to suggest free or to pay for I'd be interested in hearing about them.

iContact is also very good. Takes of very little device memory unlike PocketCM and it's very easy to use. This one is free and is in the develop and hacking section. No need to install it either...just run the .exe from your phone.
i had FFF before until they promped me in registering... but i remember reading somewhere that the software was free during this time of development...

It's easy enough to find the blue and black style cab's here: http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
so let me get this straight this is something just like spb mobile shell?
i thought it was like a plug in allowing the navigation of the device it self to be more finger friendly...
is there anything like that?
here is my combo.
touchpal pro (keyboard)
thumb cal (calander)
PocketCM (Contacts)
Asus Launcher (Start Menu)
Touch Cube (Quick Access to stuff)
THis will keep you finger frindly.

Wow, iContact is awesome. Blows the stock one away!
Simplicity for Efficiency
Hi all,
You could add s.l.i. ThumbCal in your list...
And for all big fingers and others PointUI addicts , you can get a lot of third softs skins in this thread.
any links to where to get the cabs?
S2P
Slide2Play is also a nice music player for your fingers...
i am especially interested in the touch keyboard
Dialer Skin only

Yeah, I love the scroll speed on this app. Can anyone tell me why other apps and Windows Mobile itself has to be so sluggish when little 3rd party efforts like this and Pointui work so much faster??
i have already tried FFF and didnt like it much. SPB contacts work the sameway and the buttons are bigger...
i am still interested in the touch keyboard...
I tried PocketCM but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. The problem -- for me anyway -- was that if I wanted a letter like "r" I'd have my finger over it but it's so sensitive that the act of lifting my finger would trigger an adjacent letter and I'd get that instead.
i ask the pepole who have the diamond ,about the stylus
i have jasjam with wm5 and upgrade to wm6 and wm6.1 and i know that in almost all of the usees i do have to use the stylus, and my ask dose in diamond i have to use the stylus even i have the tuch 3d caues i want to buy the diamond and i'm just warry about that cuse i don't like the stylus , and becuse that else i think about iphone 3g, and does diamond can do every think without the stylus.
thnks
Lots of things can be done without stylus, e.g.
- Calling
- Typing SMS or e-mail
- Webbrowser
- YouTube player
- Picture viewing
- Music/Video playing
- Several system settings
- Typing
I think most things you do every day can be done without stylus.
But there are still some applications where the stylus should be used. WM calendar for example is not really finger friendly (try alternatives like pocket informant)
or this?
or you can use a thing like yhis instead of a normal stylus

so, why don't you go and buy one? go!
Is it me that has really fat fingers or is the diamond thats like impossible to write on? I often have to rewrite words.. really annoying.. Im not comparing it to iphone but when i tried the iphone you never missed a letter.. and often with the diamond if i want like ? and have to press and hold it releases itself so yet again i have to delete and try again .
Is there a fix for this to get?
It is possible for me to use my fingers. Keep in mind that the iPhone has a 3.5" screen and the HTC only have 2.8"!
A solution could be the tilt the HTC so the keyboard is on the long side - here the keys are a bit larger. (gsen program to do that)

I have just got the diamond (XDA Ignito) and have to admit the on screen keyboard will take some getting used to after my XDA Exec physical keyboard but could anyone tell me how to use the QWERTY on screen keyboard in landscape mode as that might improve my accuracy somewhat?
if you use the phone keypad, its a hell of a lot more reponsive than the artemis, the cruise or iphone, best touch sensitivity ive come across

Same here, using the SIP utility found on this board to have it set to phone keypad when the stylus is in the device, and full QWERTY when it's out. The Full QWERTY without using the stylus is just too frustrating.
This tool will allow you to rotate the diamond in all applications incl. messages and then the keyboard will follow to landscape mode.
Allows you to rotate the screen between portrait and landscape mode

What's the utility called? I've been looking for something that can do that!

Follow this thread for more info and the latest version.
I have very small fingers, so I use the regular (small qwerty) keyboard option in portrait, just with my fingers. No need for me for other input options, because I think I tap with a 95% "succes rate".
My fingers are too large to use any of the afternarket bluetooth keyboards so I use the Samsung Keyboard Dock. However, I cannot find any type of carrying case for it. Has anyone seen one? Ideally, there would be a place to stow the GT itself in it, as well. Thanks in advance.
