Hi guys,

My friend has bought herself a German Motorola Atrix with Android 2.2. It is locked, but has root (I did that).

Now she is a hell of a texting witch and likes to text a lot, but hates the qwertz keypad. So she is desperately searching for an app which offers the numeric keypad in the Atrix system for everything (texting, e-mail, surfing, ...).

It would also be nice, if it offers Swype like in the Samsung Wave handsets: T9 Trace it is called there. It offers Swype gestures in qwertz AND numeric keypad, which really rocks.

Is that numeric keypad for texting on the Motorola Atrix somehow possible (with or without Swype)?

Thank you in advance.

I've been using GO Keyboard and it has a good numeric pad that also offers T9 and fast layout switching.

Thank you guys for your app hints. That helped a lot. At least, the girl has now her numeric keypad.

Now I am still searching a keyboard app with numeric layout AND Swype/T9 Trace.

Just to remember: "T9 Trace" is Samsung's Swype (not T9 only).

I have a feeling that there is no app like this, because I looked in two other forums in Germany and there were a lot of people asking for this without success.

For all interested: I found a solution (app) for our problem. Ultra Keyboard from Binary Bulge has got Swype in 3 x 4/numeric keypad layout.

It is still not as good as the T9 Trace on Samsung Wave, bu I am really happy about this. :)

I have to say, that seems like the most inefficient way to put in text... Buy modern smartphone with large screen, replaced keyboard with a kludge that was forced on us by limits of technology 20+ years ago? You are, of course, free to use whatever works for you; but wouldn't it be better to just retrain yourself to use a proper keyboard? Soon you'll type faster and easier...

Thank you, Touchpal looks good, but like all the others it does not have swype feature (touchpal curve called here) on the numeric keyboard layout (12 keys called here).

That is what this thread is about. We search a keyboard app, that has swyping/tracing on the numeric layout like "T9 Trace" from Dragonfly (which is for Bada phones only).

The only keyboard app I found having this is called Ultra Keyboard, but is not working as good/fast as "T9 Trace" from Samsung Wave phones.

SwiftKey is very fast once you learn the shortcuts and give it time to learn how you type. Their AI is awesome! There's a free trial in the play store. They'll be releasing a swype-like feature soon.
