Xperia X10 Mini: QWERTY Touch Keyboard

---

Greetings,

I have just wondered which QWERTY keyboard is the best to use in your Xperia Mini?
Do you use Swipe? Does it work on Mini well?
I wouldn't like to type SMS, emails etc. with old-fashioned way (using original numeric keyboard).

Thanks for every hint,
Cheers,

Nope swype doesn't work, but u can try shapewriter, which works similiar to swype.

others which works well are AnySoftkeyboard(which i am currently using).

Better Keyboard.
Smart Keyboard pro
Both are good

Thanks. I just tried AnysoftKeyboard and somehow it doesn't work. I have found it in my phone settings under Locale & Text with, it's ON, QWERTY Latin SET, but apparently I missed something. (I also checked the quick button in the right corner of the screen when writing a message).

Any suggestion how to make it work?

click and hold on any text input window, then you will be able to select input method - anysoft keyboard

@sirmarcelot - that's what I've needed ;)

Touchpal

I am a big fan of Touchpal from my old phone (DSTL1) era. it works like a charm in my new X10Pro also. It brings one valuable feature to X10 the missing up/down scroll and editing features while typing/editing text/mails etc along with my fav cootek 2letter keyboard for easy typing.

The problem with the mini is, that the original keyboard shows the keys AND the inputfield/sendbutton. 3.party keyboards only show the keys, so that you will get problems with the inputfield in the original sms app... thats funking ****.

I would prefer a qwerty keyboard only in landscape mode. unfortunately there is no landscape mode for the default sms app.

I'm using HTC touch input on X10 mini pro, and it works wonders.. Worths a try if you are looking for qwerty keypad.. And it works with default SMS app

try swiftkey.
it's amazing how it predicts next word...
i think it's the best keybord for x10 mini (tried a lot... )
