yes it works perfectly. ive been using it since yesterday and its definitely much better than the pre-installed default keyboard. i especially like the way it auto-corrects my frequent typo's

Been using it for a few weeks.. Skinable and very easy to type with. In fact you can just slide your finger around and let go when you see the key you are looking for highlited..

Another thing you should look into is PocketCM...

CONTACTS replacement!!! I like this even more then their keyboard solution.. Imagine the iPhone contacts slide you see everywhere, and you have pocketCM. One of the best features is the A-Z on the left side to quick jump.

How do you install this on hermes w/WM6? When I go into settings / input and change to PCM keyboard it says " Pocket CM keyboard has to be the current sip in order to configure it? what do I do?

Just click the little triangle beside your keyboard icon (bottom middle of bar) and select PCM Keyboard. That should do it...

i have been using the pocket CM k/b since yesterday and ts a quantum leap forward from any other k/b that is available. Its a must have for any Windows mobile user. It works on all PPC phones!

There is also a contact manager from the same author. You can use your fingers to scroll through and select contacts. I use that as well. It works great! It is called pocketCM. URL: http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php

I've installed it and it shows up in the list of available input devices but selecting it does nothing at all. The keyboard doesn't change visually onscreen and if I check the current input device it still shows the standard keyboard.

I can go into it's options and play around with things but if I change the Input Method to PCM Keyboard and click OK, it still doesn't switch over.

Running Schap's WM6 Pro 3.60a ROM.

Tried soft resets, tried installing to main memory and to storage.

Running 0.6 version.

What a bummer.

Too bad the Hermes doesn't have either a slide out keyboard, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer or Transcriber.

I don't think sarcasm is called for; this looks like a neat keyboard that works better than the stock one for those times that you dont want to slide out or use the stylus.

Strange, I installed it on my 8525 (see sig for ROM info), and it worked fine. Of course my fat fingers don't let me use it all too well... ;) But then again, I have the same problems with an iPhone and even the slide-out keyboard on the Hermes. I actually find the Letter Recognizer to work quite well for me, but it's a matter of personal preference (I was a big fan of Graffiti on the Palm, but Graffiti 2 was abysmal.)

Is there anyway to make this the default keyboard? When i reset my phone, it goes back to the standard keyboard :(

I'm in love with this keyboard! I had downloaded and installed the first version a couple weeks ago and liked it enough to use occaisonally. I felt like it had great potential and just needed a little polishing. But this new version, .6, is awesome! Perfect. I'm gonna use it all the time except when typing sms with the palm threaded app. I'll slide out the hardware keyboard on my hermes for that.

As soon as someone fixes the palm threaded app so that the SIP keyboard doesn't cover up the text you're inputting, I'll use this new PCMkeyboard there, too. And I'll send a hefty donation to that person that fixes the palm app.

donation on the way to this PCM guy, too.

Does anyone know if this keyboard supports other languages' input methods?

Under the options, there's a select box for "Keyboard layout" which includes:
Czech
English
Francais
German
Polish
Russian
Spanish

For contacts that have more than one email address in Outlook contacts, how can you get ALL of them showing up in PocketCM?

I personally think this is about the best keyboard i have ever used on my Hermes and it works perfectly for me. I have reasonably fat fingers and typing on it is a dream!..dont hvae to use my stylus at all. Great work!!!!!

installed it last night on my Mogul, works great!!! I find that I use the slide out keyboard less and less now. I am able to use two thumbs to type and if I get the word close enough the auto correct feature takes care of my mistakes. Make sure you install SIP Change to make it your default soft keyboard.

GREAT WORK!!!

i've tested the keyboard and doesn't really work for me.
Tested it by typing the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Seems that the t9 automatically change it to the quick brown fix jumps over the lazy do.

i think i'm better with one handed typing using the slide out keyboard.

I've been running the PCM Keyboard with the iPhone skin for several weeks now (i believe it's version .9) and have liked it a lot, but today I get a pop up message on my screen that this version doesn't work after 10/1, and I need to go to PCM's site to download a new version.

So I see version .10 came out on 9/27 and I downloaded it to my 8525, and now nothing happens when I try to access the skins.

What can I do?

Dear XDA peeps, i am sure that there is a keyboard that can be downloaded directly on my wing without sinc it right?!?
I tryed th HAPPYTAPINGKEYBOARD but it was too boring. I guess a bit too old.
I am looking for a i-phone like with the letter pop up and big enough to use both of my thumbs. I have seen some on other devices but could not find any download link for it:mad:

Help please:)

PS: you are the bomb no matter what, i did not know anything about ppc and now i can do registry and all. thank you.

PS2: any new registry for the wm6 is welcome...:)
