@Kikos-yeah, reminds me of my r320s when it first came out. Once you get used to that system it's amazingly fast. I think the m600 is better than any other SE phone. |

Yeah, the Z520 is a good keypad. The W900 has really nice keys as well I might add. But I've heard, that the Z610 has really good keys. Large and well spaced. Never tried it myself though.

Those SE phones, which have + and - buttons are very comfortable for sms typing. Though you'll need two hand for typing, it is possible to type text about 4-5 times faster than usual.
They are something like two "shift" buttons on your phone - while holding + button press any digit key, and you'll get the second letter (for example 'b' on key-2), and the third letter with - button.
This way typing 3,6,7 while pressing '-' button, you'll get "for", otherwise you would need to press each key three times.
I've used this on my old T630, and now with K750i

The W810 also has + and - buttons but i couldnt get the same result as mentioned. Can anyone with a W810 or K750 confirm this shift button function? What should i do to get this working on my w810? |

@786KBR- It's an old Ericsson method of typing used in t28,r320s and a few other Ericsson phone at the time. That was prior to predictive texting. I don't think the k750 does that, speaking under correction of course. |

Apologies. I was checking my k700 now and it does that, so I think the k750 does that as well.

My vote goes to the K300i and k750i. The K300i has a really nice soft keypad.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.  I  Nokia N95 8GB and N82 |

For me the BEST  fone for SMS writing will be the PDA ones: P800/P900/P910i and P990. Though I must admit that no one can beat how the Nokia Communicator series (N9210/9210i/9300/9500) when it comes to typing SMS . . .

um... I have a w810i and I've never seen a + or - key on it. To activate the shift key, you press the * key. |

M600, of course! This phone wap intended to be used for messaging, e. g. for SMS. Talking about not smartphones, all other phones are approximately the same in typing. |

Mighty, my k700 does that too! Even with T9 on - then you can also use them +/- to browse through the alternative words.
Ah, that is why we like SE isn't it. Has this ever been mentioned in a manual or so?
Too bad it doesn't work on the w810. Is it only the w810 which does not have that? Maybe all ther walkman phones?
Going back OT, the k700 has an excellent & fast keypad imo.

I started with a motorola in the late 90's , went to a panasonic, the t68 , then p900 and now k750...
By far k750 feeling is much much higher quality than any other phone. The key pads are excellent designed ! However i think that if you have fat fingers it wouldnt be as comfortable as for other people...
