Spb Full screen keyboard is very useful when you need to type large amounts of data, but I havent tried some of the other programs listed in the poll.

My opinion on the best one out of those would have to be the Resco Keyboard.

The only other writing method I have installed other than the four preinstalled ones in Spb Full screen keyboard. Because of it's large size (it takes up the whole screen) its much easier to type with it and you can also use your fingers to type.

I must say that I´ve tried all but hikeyboard and the best of all is Tengo.

Of course I use resco for small things like usernames, passwords, some emails, etc. But when it comes to big amounts of input tengo is the best. Calligrapher is very good but when it doesn´t recognize something you input it can become very annoying to correct.

And SPB Fullscreen is just very frustrating to not being able to see your screen while you type.

Try tengo anf you won´t regret it

I'm really amazed that nobody has mentioned Fitaly.

It is supposed to be the best keyboard in existence for either Palm or PPC (based on typing speed).

I know people that swear by it.

TenGO by far. I gave up on handwriting recognition software for the same reasons pablo mentioned above... Tengo totally changes the way I input text into my device. I use the regular keyboard for typing usernames etc but for actual text input, chat, etc Tengo is the way.

Resco Keyboard because I like the easy way to switch layouts, it's skinable, great calculator function, and the fx mode is easy.

I hope you are not a promoter of Resco keyboard. I had tried this but I didn t find it any better than the built in windows keyboard. Out of the ones I tried, I think TenGo is the best input program in terms of speed. Of course when u have to type username etc, u will have to switch to normal keyboard which is incorporated in to TenGo. I would be interested to know why you find resco keyboard useful, apart from the way it looks. I found the keys smaller than the original keyboard because of the 3D look they gave.

I dont promote it I just like it. It works for all kinds of languages- which is very useful for me. It has quick phrases you can use, skins and many other useful functions.
