I mentioned in my previous article on finding this keyboard software called Swype for Windows Mobile and Android that redefines how we input text on a small device.
I would like to give another shout out to the developers of this. It really rocks! It is so smart that most of the time it gets what i want to type. of course im still not used to it and it has made my typing on iPod Touch worse (i kept thinking the iPod Touch can kept up with the input speed of how well i do on my Windows Mobile with Swype that i kept forgeting to put spaces)

I got an old O2 Atom Life Windows Mobile phone and have been trying to get around the idea of not using a stylus on a 2.8 inch resistive screen.
I am really good with the stylus either using Block Recoginizer,Transcriber but i can’t figure out why we had to make use of stylus last time before the iPhone comes about. It is such a hassle when you are commuting in the middle of a train station and you need to send a text and you have to pull out your stylus.
That is why with the advancement of virtual keyboard we hope to see some really cool and functional virtual keyboard. The iphone’s virtual keyboard have been one of the best. Very responsive and good for me.
However, on a resistive screen its a different matter.
Here is what a small company presented on TechCrunch 50 and i was more than impress by the video to download Swype to try on my Atom Life.
Take a look at how it works.
When i first tried it, it felt real awkward. But slowly i see the benefits of it. The intelligence of this small software really picks up words fast. Whats more if you use fingers on the small resistive screen on my Atom Life it actually work pretty well!
Here are some tips and tricks taken off Swype’s tips and tricks:
This video shows the basic way how to input text. What i like about this is that if you don’t get used to writing all the way by swyping you can still use a very functional virtual keyboard.
What if you encounter words like “balloon” or “good” with double letters? no problem.
This one shows a very fast way of Capitalizing your words. Never thought about doing that!
How to put your comma and fullstop fast.
This one shows the auto correct functionality. its easy if you have a friends name like Balakrishnan. Just type the name Balakrishnan and it auto goes into the dictionary. the next time you swype it the intellisense will be able to recognize it .
So where can you get it? The folks at XDA Developers have managed to port it. Do give it a try and comment how is your experience with it.

I mentioned that you can tether your 3G data connection via numerous methods for different phones.
However, the option for Windows Mobile phone is very expensive! WMWifiRouter charges a bomb for something others give for free. But HTC have decided that consumers should have this service for all their future handsets (FREE!) and in this topic by XDA developers there is active discussion and you can download the HTC software to try on your phone.
Mind you, not all windows mobile phones will work. Do give it a try:

Alot of phone buyers or interested in purchasing phones would like to know what kind of functionality they are able to use with their smartphone operating system.
This Image Presented will be updated as often as i can.
The objective is to show a comparison of services that are commonly used by mobile workers and whether these mobile smartphone eco-system provides that.
Note that this is not an exhaustive list. It is just to show that for such a service or functionality, this phone is able to carry it out either by native services or application or third party services or application.
So take for example in Symbian phones, Calendar sync off the air is not provided by the symbian platform itself but with Road Sync you are able to do that.
