Default Changing keyboard to AZERTY

Hello everyone,

I'm very interested in this device, but as I'm living in Belgium, I'm used to type on an AZERTY keyboard (instead of QWERTY).

Is this changeable?

Thanks for your reply!

Best regards

Koen

Hello!

Thanks for your reply! I don't have the device yet, so I haven't tried install anything.

But I want to buy this device, therefore interested if I can use an AZERTY keyboard.

Thx!

Haven't really tried that yet Koen.

Might be something that is possible as the default keyboard that comes with the HD2 NL looks a lot like the ezInput 2.x keyboard (although I did not verify if they are related!) But if they are, ezInput comes with all kinds of different layouts so maybe somebody will figure out how to change the default HD2 keyboard to azerty also...

Don't know if it helps, but the T9 input is pretty good in guessing which (Dutch) words you want to type. taking into account that you sometimes tap the wrong letter; mix up some letters etc. Has been verry helpfull in correcting me

hope it helps

Ok, we'll see. Now I just need to buy the phone and try it out.

Isn't it possible to change this? So when you select Dutch you get an azerty keyboard with the correct xt9 (Dutch)?
