In mid April I upgraded the ROM on my AT&T Tilt and reinstalled the software. Since then I’ve been trying to get a new license code from Tengo and my emails have gone unanswered. Do you know of any problems with the Tengo folks as to why they are not answering emails?

Thanks for the tip. This is definately now my preffered method of input on my Toshiba E800.

Now if only I can stop myself buying a UMPC when I go to China next week!!!

I downloaded and installed this product immediately after reading this post, and have to admit that its pretty cool – for certain tasks. I can see how, with a bit of practice, this could really become my preferred method of text-entry on my HP6822 (wm5)

The only problems I faced were due to the fact that the HP has a small screen, which means the margin for error when hitting the secondary buttons – functions, punctuation etc – is very small. Definitely worth persevering with however….

The one thing it doesn’t seem very useful for is entering URL’s etc – Tengo is really based on predictive imput using its inbuilt dictionary, and just getting a www. seems almost impossible. If the ability to add aliases/words to the dictionary were added, Tengo would be almost perfect. In this I mean for example type in “google” and have the full URL inserted in the address bar.

Great product though…

And here I’d just be satisfied if MS added the Backspace, Space, and Uppercase stroke gestures to the TIP. :(
