I have one of these and they are pretty good … don’t use it that often but for 
the price it’s definitely handy when I do need it

Re: [AFMUG] Cell Phone Gripe

[Ty Featherling]

I adjusted as well. My Palm Treo keyboard was the last keyboard I loved. A
big part of being comfortable with a on-screen keyboard was learning to
trust autocorrect and having a good keyboard that you CAN trust. I likey
Swiftkey on Android. I can bang away and don't often have to make any
corrections. I'm on a Note4 currently.

Re: [AFMUG] Cell Phone Gripe

[Stefan Englhardt]

For rdp you need something bigger. I use a galaxy tab s 8.4 with lte. VPN to 
our network and then tightvnc into the monitoring system works quite well. The 
onscreen keyboard is usable with 2 thumbs. It covers 1/3 of the screen. Not 
something to work with but enough to do short management jobs.

Re: [AFMUG] Cell Phone Gripe

[Ken Hohhof]

My son has a Note 5.  The screen is much bigger than mine.  I think everyone 
who types a lot on a phone uses the 2 thumb method and have no problems. 
Old timers like me tend to poke with an index finger and miss a lot, either 
need to learn the thumb method or buy a stylus.

Re: [AFMUG] Cell Phone Gripe

[Bill Prince]

The Note 5 has a fairly jumbo screen (over 5.5"?).

The last keyboarded phone I had was a Palm Pre. It had a smaller screen, 
but with the slide-out keyboard it was quite useable.


I finally bit the bullet, and got a Moto Droid RAZR Maxx (HD) several 
years ago. It's "only" a 5" screen, but was considered kind of jumbo 
when I got it. I got used to it, and usually thumb-type. Auto-correct is 
a PITA, but I've been getting wise to its ways. I don't think I miss the 
physical keyboard any more.


My next phone will go up a little in size, because there's still room in 
my pocket.

I just swipe on google keyboard honestly. I use to love
swiftkey/swype, but the stock google one improved dramatically over
the years.

Yea, it's not too bad, and clears up the whole screen.   I've used it to
get into our FreeBSD boxes and fix stuff numerous times.   Had to clean up
a spammer that hit our mail server a couple of years ago, and worked
great.   Better than the on screen keyboard, that's for sure.

 If you're using it for RDP, or anything that needs serious typing, I
 would just order a bluetooth keyboard for around $25.

That's exactly the thing.  Try typing a bunch of *nix CLI stuff with the 
on screen keyboard where you have to flip to different views for numbers 
and different symbols.  It gets old fast.

Absolutely.   Plus, it has arrow keys so you can easily scroll back through
commands, etc. on a command line.   Big time saver there.   Also has a TAB
key for easy command completion, etc.

Re: [AFMUG] Cell Phone Gripe

Microsoft seems to be working on a solution where you carry a dongle or mini 
dock with you, and scrounge a big screen, keyboard and mouse wherever you are 
to turn your phone into a PC.
