Open question for ex touch dual users

[juju66]

Hi guys,

This question is only for ex touch dual users.

1) Could you please tell me if you miss the physical keyboard? I know the virtual keyboard on the diamond can be set as "normal" numerical keyboard with xt9 but is it easy (and accurate) as the physical one to use??

2) I've read somewhere that the diamond was not vibrating when receiving an sms? Is it true??

Thank you for your feedback!

Answer to your first question, I did find the physical keyboard useful, only because it gave me the whole screen to look at, but using the keyboard itself the Diamond keyboard does a very good job. I have mine on Phone Keypad and i dont often make a mistake. I do admit that sometimes it can be frustrating, pushing the space bar or not pushing it when you should do, but I had the same using the Touch Dual hardware keyboard so the experience is on par.

Mmm, well mine seems ok when I get a text, altho i dont often set it to vibrate so will have a play today and see if i notice anything.

What i will say is that there is supposed to be a version of the Diamond coming out with a keypad. I dont mean the Touch Diamond Pro with the full qwerty keyboard i mean literally a Touch Dual keypad on the diamond. So far specs, information is all pretty hush hush so if you really miss the physical keypad and you think you will find it useful having one, maybe waiting would be the best option.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Tom

@ tom: Thank you for your answer.

I really like the physical keypad. It helps me writing text messages without having to "really" look at what I'm doing.

As you said, I think I'll wait some time hoping they will release a touch dual diamond...

Have a good day!

Anyone else could answer this question?? Would be nice to have more than one answer...

Sorry, me again! Ive had my phone on Vibrate since yesterday and not had any problems with it not vibrating when it should do.

Just thought I would let you know.

About the SMS - yes, it wasn't alerting (vibrate or sound) but there is a tweak - registry entry.

Works fine now
