Re: Android Phones
Yippee!
After much browsing of the web, I saw a link to some android tips on an email newsletter today, not much use in themselves as they rely on the Nexus one trackball. But by then trying a different google search I came across a Samsung tips page that tells me I can bring up a cursor keyboard on my swype keypad.
Press the swype key (the one with the i and a squiggle) and swipe to the SYM key next to it.
Voila, a whole new keypad with all the buttons needed to select and move around text.
That and the Dolphin HD browser with tabbed browsing and gesture input makes me a very happy chappy.
Now I just draw an R on the screen in my browser and I see all the recent coffeesnobs posts. 8-)
I also have a whole load more tips and user guide pages to read, no doubt Ill learn more about what Ive been missing over the last 6 months.
Course the phone currently crashes or hangs once a day, but thats life with prerelease s/w.
