Hi Guys,
after playing for about a week with the touch diamond keyboard on my mogul I've come to the conclusion of being the best SIP touch keyboard i've ever used BUT (here is the good part)
*"DO NOT INSTALL IT ON YOUR MOGUL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CONTACT PREDICTION TO GO AWAY WHILE WRITING A MESSAGE OR EMAIL, SUPER SLOW INPUT WHILE WRITING AND ALSO IT TOOK 9 MINUTES TO UNINSTALL."*
with that being said it is up to you if you want to give it a try.

Other issues are that some are not able to uninstall unless they hard reset, issues arise with your physical keyboard.
These are not issues that arised on the 6800, but rather most devices out in the market. It has been stated in the thread with the leaked attached software that the software is very buggy and doesn't have proper testing.
Install at your own risk. I personally rather use the HTC Touch Keyboard and Keypad which is almost identical except for the skin.

Does this break the autocomplete feature for the slide out keyboard on sms/mms contacts too or just for the SIP keyboard?
Carlos, do you have a cab to upload for that HTC Touch keyboard? Cannot find by searching XDA.

Sweet, perfect. My cab directory on the server is stocked! :p\
edit: this cab breaks autocomplete too, huh?
any workaround? That is a rather good feature.

auto complete only seems to work when you use xt9.
but other then that idk if there would be a way to be enable it.

I installed it and used it for a while... i must say its a great keyboard for a touchscreen... but then i realized the main reason why i got the mogul vs the touch, THE HARDWARE KEYBOARD!
This completely screwed up the autocomplete in emails and sms, text predictions and SIP options, even when using the hardware keyboard.
Uninstalling was a nightmare... so I did a hard reset and went on with my happy mogul...
I still think its a great software keyboard, but for a devise that its designed to... not the mogul

The Diamond keyboard seems to work on my Telus P4000 running DCD3.0.4 with the only bug being that when you press a key the icon for the selected key is really big but this goes away as soon as you life your finger so it isn't a big deal. Autocomplete seems to work for me but I never used it much so I may not be testing what others say is not working. If I create a new SMS and start typing in someone's name using any of the Diamond keyboards (since there are 3) or the hardware keyboard the name comes up before I finish typing so I don't think there's any issue with that.
The Touch keyboard is almost the same you say? I may have to try that one...

Aledc78:
Just for clarification, the keyboard you had so much trouble with prediction and uninstalling was the Touch, or was it the Diamond? I'd really like to give the touch one a shot. My large fingers are WAY too big to even consider using the default WM6 keyboard, its a joke. I can't give up prediction though, and as a general rule I steer clear of anything that is a "nightmare" to uninstall.

I managed to uninstall Diamond keyboard. I used SK Tools to uninstall and voila...it got uninstalled ;)

Yeah, this keyboard is really a pile of crap. It broke all my auto complete, and it also broke the ability to page down by pressing the space bar in a browser. And mine wouldn't install at all, it sat there for over 30 minutes doing nothing, I had to hard reset to get rid of it.
Seriously, if you want a device without a keyboard, just buy a touch. A physicial keyboard is better than any soft ketboard anyway

I found the latest version of the CooTek TouchPal keyboard with the Diamond theme works a lot better on the Mogul than the Diamond Keyboard. It's not free though.

Still, compared to the Diamond ported keyboard, CoolTek sucks.
I'm surprised that the problem with inputting contacts and having them autocomplete via the Hardware Keyboard is still broken. The hardware keyboard is generally preferred, but the Diamond port is amazing in small spaces / one handed typing.
anyone know of a fix?
