Default Worst Key In Data / Typing

Dear Friends,

I just bought one HTC Touch last week. I regret on using it, because it is very difficult to key in data.

For example, when you want to type SMS, by keyboard, either block recognizer, or other else. You will find out that your HTC is too lag, and the spell checker can not be disabled. It make me regret to bought it. Do any one have a solution on this problem? I hate TOUCH...!!!

I, too, found out that you can't seem to shut off the spell checker/auto input, despite the supposed option to disable pre-emptive text... I'm a stylus guy and I use Fitaly (www.fitaly.com, I can type way faster than any other method ~ 30 words per minute) and it was driving me mad that it was putting text in "for" me. I had the same problem with 3 different ROMs (Sprint Original, JDs Clean, and dcd's 0.20) But now with no2chem's wm6.1clean, I still can't stop the pre-emptive text, BUT it doesn't override me!
I agree about the lag... I can't understand it either. Jim256 has been railing about this in several threads... and quite frankly, I agree with him. Not that it's slow per se, but it SHOULD be faster. Still better than the alternatives out there. I love my Vogue! Maybe RevA will help... who knows?
I sympathize with you bro.

Touchpal is great, but takes some time getting used to. Overall I was impressed with the spb fullscreen keyboard. I assigned it to my short press button or what used to be the standard camera button and it has helped out a lot.

You can turn off spell correction through your controll panel. I love the data entry. I also use spb fullscreen keyboard. Its suprisingly quick and accurate due to the big keys. I have it mapped to the hardbutton (I only use voice recognition when I am wearing a bt headset so its all good)

That's what I use and I'm coming from having used graffiti on a palm m515 and multitap key on a cell phone. Works great for me.

Does anyone know how to change this??? On my Mogul, if I started typing a Contacts name or number into the "TO" area, it would auto complete the contacts email address or telephone number. How can I enable this?

Also, when I'm in a call, what happened to the "phone" icon in the top banner when I'm in a call?
