Sorry to jump into the thread this late, but I am wondering if you already examined the following Wiki-Link? We had a very extensive discussion about text input running on the community list several months ago. Nearly all proposals were documented on the following Wiki:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wishlist:Text_Input My personal favourites are the Quickwriting (there is even a java demo available) and "another text input" (although it seems to be another implementation of this more moko-like implementation: http://www.micropp.se/openmoko/splash.html ). If I remember correctly, "all" participants of the discussion came to the conclusion, that a regular qwerty keyboard is not sufficient no matter how clever you "pimp" it, due to restriction of precision of finger typing and lack of screen space. An "intelligent" input prediction (e.g. T9) sucks, when one is using different languages regularly (you always have to remember switching to the right dictionary BEFORE typing). ( Not everyone on this planet is using english in day to day conversations. ;-) ) They also suck if ones vocabulary is much more advanced than the one which is implemented (and I personally do not want to adjust my vocabulary to fit the needs of the input system). Just my 2 cents. Regards Karsten
