Can I programmatically disable/enable the physical keyboard?

Virtual Keyboard or Physical keyboard?

  • I want to upgrade to a phone that has a virtual keyboard. However I've never owned any type of electronic device that requires me to type on a virtual keyboard. I've always had phones with a physical keyboard. Looking for views on which one is better, and if it is hard to transition from the physical keyboard to the virtual one.

  • Answer:

    I've used both. A physical keyboard is nice because you don't always have to look when you're typing, can't say the same for a virtual keyboard. But that's about the only benefit of a regular keyboard. It's not a hard transition but it may take more time, or if you have big fingers then the virtual ones can be difficult.

i went to a virtual keyboard about a year ago and i dont really mind it so much now. but thats because i use swype, touch typing is still kinda a pain

I absolutely love it, but the key with virtual keyboards is: The larger the screen, the more accurate you can type on a touch screen.

Physical keyboard

I hate virtual keyboards, unless I'm using Swype. If the phone has Android, I highly recommend installing Swype. I think Samsungs come with it already. http://swypeinc.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRUoWUhcRlE It will work on any phone using the Android operating system and a touch screen.
