Some time ago I upgraded my Orange mobile to an M700. It's a very nice phone indeed, and the ability to be able to use TomTom 6 on it as well saves me having to varry around yet another electronic device.
One thing about it did however annoy me - there was no equivalent of the T9 text input that I had on my old phone. I wasn't keen on getting the stylus out to tap away at the tiny keyboard shown on the screen when I wanted to write a text message. I tried getting a copy of HTC phonepad working on the phone, but to no avail.
After some research, I've managed to get it to work okay. Here's what I had to do:
- Install 'G4 SIP Tweak.cab' - links to this are available in a number of places, try forum.xda-developers.com
- Install 'HTC_SIPsettings.cab' - links to this are available in a number of places, try forum.xda-developers.com
- Install Phonepad - again, there are plenty of links to the application out there
The phone needed a soft reset between installing each of these items.
Once installed, I can now switch between the standard keyboard and Phonepad as I like!
