Hi everybody,

I'm really proud to announce FastSMS. This app allows writing SMS using an input style like T9 or by a Qwerty

FEATURES:

*Languages supported: italian, english, spanish, french, german ,portuguese, finnish, swedish, croatian, serbian, slovenian
*It is possible choose between portait, landscape or autorotate
*Sended SMS are displayed in standard conversation window
*New words can be inserted and saved
*Fast recipient search typing name, lastname or phone number in recipient field
*Full PhoneBook integration with MyContacts or Horizontal-Call
*Standard input method (without FastWrite) is available
*Auto-capitalization and different input-style.

TODO AND REQUESTS FROM USER:
* SMS notification as option
* Multiple recipient
* Symbol/smile layout for Alphanumeric keyboard
* Add an option for use as default input method
* Long-pressed button insert numbers
* Button for newline in Alphanumeric keyboard
* Easy way for change words sort

CHANGELOG 0.4:
*Added finnish, swedish, croatian, serbian, slovenian and croatian+serbian dictionaries
* Fast contact search
* Qwerty keyboard
* New words can be inserted by virtual keyboard
* UI fix
* Minor Bug-Fix

KNOWED BUG:
* Sequence "hello.......hello" "<-" "C" doesn't works as expected
* "hello?" "<-" "->"
* standard input doesn't defocus selected char properly
* Can't use HW keyboard while alphanumeric layout is displayed and char counter doesn't work
* Some problem with Autocapitalization
* If leaved open while a data-connection is active, application crash: this is a QtMobility bug: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTMOBILITY-771

FAQ:
* How contacts search works?
When you use alphanumeric keyboard entering a number in recipient field will search also for characters. For example, if you are looking for "Ale" you can type 253. Search is performed in first name, last name and phone number. When you find what you want, simply double-tap on it.

* How can I add new language?
Send at fastsms@hotmail.it some e-books (pdf or, best, txt UTF-8) in your language and I will (try) build the dictionary asap. Word lists are not good, I need e-books to take words occurrences. Topic of pdf is not important. Considers that If you send me only file about '800 history, some words could be missing!
If your language is not based on latin alphabet it could be not so easy. Write to me for additional information

* When I try to open phonebook with "people" button I get an error. Why?
FastSMS is unable to use standard phonebook. So, in addition to "fast search", you can install MyContacts or Horizontal-call. I don't plain to add native phonebook support soon, because I think that "fast search" is enough and I prefer spend my time in other implementation. If you think I'm wrong tell my why and I can reconsider my choice.
