Hello everyone! I flashed OM2008.8 yesterday. It's really awesome what great software the developers created! Thank you all for this!
But there are some small things I don't like on it: * I. E. there is no real home screen. * I cannot receive SMS - or lets say «not all SMS». * I'm still missing configuration tools * etc. But all this things aren't too bad and I know that they'll be fixed soon(er or later). There is only one thing that makes the Freerunner nearly unusable: The keyboard. With this crazy «dictionary-thing» I'm not able to write a message in (Swiss) German or any other language than English. Even a simple «Hallo» ends up in «Hello». And as long I'm not able to write a word that is not in the dictionary it's pretty useless for me. There are also keys missing to make it usable for the terminal. I think I am talking for a lot of people who want to have a _nice and usable_ keyboard - for any language and any app. The keyboard has to be finger friendly and not too small. It should contain all usual letters and special characters. I made a little mockup (it's no design masterpiece... ;-)) of a keyboard. I think something in this direction would be really cool: http://files.it-media.ch/om_keyboard_mockup.jpg (Modified Screenshot from the wiki) The buttons measure 40x40 Pixels. Unfortunately there is not too much space between them, so I have no idea how it would be to type on it. Does anyone got an idea how difficult it would be to create a keyboard _like this_? Thanks in advance. Regards, Tobias _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
