u are probably more used to iphone

[Krisspychiken]

as an apple user, i find typing to be fast, not because of the layout but the good predicting algorythms apple uses.. say im typing "student" even if i mistype 3 of the letters it still types in the correct word.. this has put me into a bad habbit of juast bashing the keyboard and letting the text completion do the work for me

[kop0001]

no matter which phone you buy.. its going to take a while to get used to the keypad..

i personally prefer a qwerty keypad.

like on the touch pro and xperia.

each to his own i guess :]

[xkings]

on the omnia, he had a finger touching the screen on the bottom while he was typing .... so the phone couldnt recognize him hitting the keys, which is why they werent responsive

[pokingpenguin]

true, but then you would only be testing the ease of each device, and not the speed at which one can type on each phone

[pokingpenguin]

yes this test is not considered "fair", but when he tests the other keyboards, you cannot say anything about the experiment being "unfair". Although he is a verteran iphone user, he has most likely never touched the other 5 phones. Basically, if you are trying to determine which of the phones ( except the iphone) has the best, fastest, and easiest keyboard, than this test has no flaw with it whatsoever.

this isnt a fair test, this guy is an iphone power user, of course he is quickest using it. i own a htc touch pro, and have resco keyboard installed (virtually the same as the iphones) and every single time i am typing im alot faster with my slide out keyboard. i have done a test of my keyboards too (all on touch pro) taken on average of 3 turns results. resco keyboard: 45sec shapewriter: 48sec phone keypad: 1:24 Compact Qwerty: 1:11 letter recognizer: 1:57 transcriber: 1:23 slide out: 37sec

this is really no comparison, best way to compare things is to go to a retirement home, and let the elderly use the device and get your results.
