OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY! Retrieving it now....crap. Download unsuccessful...gotta check my entry...

[JR1]

Oh, duh, tried to get it on my phone....ok, on pc now...am I supposed to drag this onto the Droid?

You need to store it on your SD card and use "Astro File Manager" for instance to install from there

Really close, and well done, Cyril! Now, just switch the 123 and 789 rows and you have it! It's still set up like a phone pad and not a calc pad.
And you have the cursors there! I love you.

OK, here is the new beta: http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/be ... beta-2.apk

YAY! Ready for primetime now. Fantastic. Ready to go see some clients and work in some spreadsheets now. Believe it or not, this was the biggest stumbling block to using the Droid for accounting work, to the point where I just gave up on it. (Yet, I was able to do so on my tiny little Palm Centro!!)

Thanks so much. I'm gonna tell the world about you.

Perhaps a 'Toggle' to allow quick selection of EITHER

[ Phone Number Keypad (123) ]
OR
[ Accountant/Engineer Keypad (789) ]

at the Users Immediate Discretion ...

That way - EVERYONE Can Be Happy!

Especially those who often use Both numeric keypads, for different applications!

Of course, this would have a broader appeal, as well...
and reduce the number of people who 'hang on' to other keyboards for those few remaining, isolated abilities!

The 'Toggle' could be a 'Long Press' [esc] key -> pop-up selection, or added to the language keyboard choices...

I am liking your keyboard(s) and keypad(s),
more, and More, and MORE!!!
(Because they Have - more, and More, and MORE!!!)

(Feel free to quote me, verbatim or modified, as you see fit...)

Some other thoughts, somewhat unrelated...

The keys of <{[ & ]}> Could be Long(er) Press(es) of the 'k(' & 'l/)' key choices...

Blackberry style Long Press keyboard choice that simply CAPITALIZES the letter pressed...
Google may pay you behind the scenes to advertise this to the 'established' BlackBerry crowd, making it much easier for them to walk away from RIM products...

Also, can you program separately, or part of your keyboard ...
The ability to COPY or Duplicate a Complete Contact entry?
This is a sorely missed ability on my Palm Treo 755p that would save a lot of time typing similar entries. Such as coworkers ... Family members... etc...

Next version will have an option to select the arrows style (arrows only, phone style, and calculator style)
