Keep in mind the bottom of my post. This was originally written by Nokia.
So far, all we've done is package it for Maemo5. (Though hopefully we'll add more bits to it as I mentioned)
anyway. keep up the great work. need to pay more attantion to what you do on your free time

Plausible, but I forsee that being a bit difficult with something like T9..
Tap and hold say 1 and four choices come up for 1, a, b and c within reach of the number 1, a mini-menu of sorts, but it would need to be fast and fluid. Could be displayed the typical N S E W locations, or maybe possibly a semi-circle which appears at the users preference of an angle?
Could have it be an option, so the user could go either old style T9 or with something similar to above.
You could add a quick toggle, on the mini-menu, to make the letters in caps? Maybe even if input is pressed and held the mini-menu doesn't go away, useful if the user is going to be using another letter.
It works in my head.

One issue I see is not being able to toggle between standard onscreen keyboard and the portrait mode one. Is there a place to identify this? If there a way to make the portrait mode keyboard show up when the phone is rotated?

Can this be used alongside the regular VKB. For instance, it will only popup when in portrait mode?

A dictionary for the T9 would be great.. Just like the other Nokia phones.. you double tap the # and it will turn on the dictionary then you can 344 for "egg" for example.. etc

Don't know if you got my point, it's late here and I'm tired

One complexity you'd have is to synchronise text etc between the two plugins when they're rotated.

This would get in the way of something like MSCIM, right? Or is it possible to get those two to play nice together?
