2009k Neutral Newbie February 4, 2012 Share February 4, 2012 Brothers and sisters, was wondering what mobile phone other than Nokia Symbian os has the numeric numberpad T9 for input? Does ios, android or wp have it? Me very used to fingering between the 9 numbers and don't fancy a full keyboard... But Nokia is kind of lacking and slow in browser etc... So wondering what are my options... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 4, 2012 Share February 4, 2012 (edited) Xperia mini, ray has the option for you to use traditional keyboard layout instead of full keyboard, with the option to turn on/off T9 predictive input. Ray is a worthy buy. Edited February 4, 2012 by Kangadrool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached iphone theme used on my android phone and you can switch between different layouts easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For android, Google for "Compact Qwerty Keyboard". fyi, that's a keyboard layout and not referring to a particular keyboard app. Better Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Pro are some keyboard apps i know that provide the compact qwerty keyboard lyaout.

2009k Neutral Newbie February 4, 2012 Author Share February 4, 2012 Can get the Ray for free with Singtel. But in Android, do I have to do lots of mod or can simply use it as it is? Is there turn-by-turn navigation like Nokia? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there turn-by-turn navigation like Nokia? There's a 30-day trial version of Wisepilot GPS navigation installed in Xperia. If for driving use, better get a dedicated GPS like Garmin.

2009k Neutral Newbie February 4, 2012 Author Share February 4, 2012 I found something on navigation for android in Singapore. http://software2tech.com/tag/unlocked-google-maps-singapore/ So this involves hacking the phone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for driving use, better get a dedicated GPS like Garmin. Getting my free set from Singtel, let's hope the browser does a better job than that of Nokia... Turn-by-turn navigation is something to solve... Wonder if I should leave my Nokia phone as a GPS in the car... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear February 11, 2012 Share February 11, 2012 Navigation on Android.... can use Sygic (or Aura which seems to be similar0. or perhaps navfone. What I dislike about Brut is that one needs to have internet connectivity. Not that friendly for overseas usage like Malaysia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use the old version cos somehow the new ones keep force closing on my phone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
