I just upgraded to WM6 and now a bunch of my alt keys are wrong.
Heres what I get when I press the following:

: = ;

@ = ?

? = -

~ = !

! = @

; = _

- = "

As you can see it can be very annoying. Is there anyway to remap these keys?

I assume you have a cingular 8525. Try searching for a cingular keyboard fix, there's at least a half a dozen ways to do it.

Hi there.

I ended up creating a .CAB file to do the registry changes for my SoftBank X01HT keyboard.

I have only tested my Cab File on a SoftBank X01HT - not the Cingular model.

Here ya go

Different keyboard layouts for different Hermes versions
Issue: When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.

The Fix:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)

If your using a WM6 Schap ROM do this

Goto Start>Settings>System>Advanced Config>Misc> then theres an option that says "Keyboard Layout: English"....Change that to Cingular in the dropdown menu.

I downloaded schap's ROM so hopefully it will correct the problem. Thanks for the tip
