I was very interested in these, and one other that I found on searching:
(Phone Pad - International.CAB.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31642&d=1164622716) as mentioned in post #2 on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284378&highlight=intellipad)
because after installing WM6 Crossbow Most Beautiful ROM on my 8125 Wizard I no longer had the T9 phonepad, which I do use occasionally, along with Resco Keyboard, my everyday workhorse.

Well, I tried them both the files above - the first one didn't work for me - seemed to install - I soft-reset - "Phone Pad" showed as an item in the pop-up menu, but clicking on it produced just the ugly old standard keyboard.

The second one installed fine, and after soft reset - it pops up and works fine, and in the installed programs menu it is listed as "HTC Phone Pad - English" - so it seems to be the real deal - looks and acts just like the Phone Pad that I had standard in all my other ROM's (but never thought to copy it out!).

I think I'm going to start saving a complete image of all the files in each ROM I try out, just in case they might prove individually useful later.
