One handedness!

[imef2k]

Forgive me if this has been discussed before!

I am seriously considering getting the Xda Orbit, but am slightly hesitant because of the lack of keyboard. My pda background is Palm, my current model being the treo 650. I have never owned a PPC/WM5 device!

I have a dislike for using the stylus to 'poke' the screen for input and have often shied away from apps that require stylus input. Clearly I am going to have to overcome this 'illness' if I get the Orbit ;)

I know its early days, but can anyone tell me to what extent can I expect to avoid stylus use with the Orbit? I am thinking in terms of when I have to send sms text and the odd email plus quite a lot of appointment entering usage. I guess this boils down to how much 'One handedness' there is in WM5.

TIA

Hey I am exactly same as you. I hate poking with stylus as I am more used to using Nokia phones.

I love Spb software based Full Screen Keyboard this allows me to use my fingers to type.

There is Phonepad for you to use.

My XDA Orbit arrived 2 days ago, works like a charm, but..... i cannot find the "phone pad" option for inputting. The Prophet had it, but not the Orbit.

Does anybody know if this is just the Orbit? or does the HTC version have the phone pad missing as well?

You need to install it. Search the forum:)
