Bigger keyboard option would help even with stylus entry

On my HTC Pure (much like the Diamond, I believe) I find it difficult to select keys accurately even with my stylus, especially sliding. The screen is pretty small, and I appreciate the FITALY leaves much of the underlying program visible, but it would be more important to improve usability. The built-in QWERTY panel is, like bjorn indicated, larger. Also, it allows T9 predictive texting, so you don't have to hit the keys exactly. I can use it easily with the finger or a substantial stylus.

In vertical orientation, the FITALY keyboard might be more advantageously set up with side panels moved to top and/or bottom, so there could be greater width as well as height of the "keys".

On my tablet PC, where FITALY is my primary keyboard, I use it simultaneously with a handwriting recognition (and Dragon Naturally Speaking). On the Pocket PC the TIP allows only one entry program at a time, may be no way around that.
