Screenshot by Ed Rhee Tip 3: Swype punctuation Rather than pressing and holding punctuation, like periods, commas, question marks, and quotation marks, Swype them to the spacebar to enter the punctuation mark followed by a space.
Swype punctuation to spacebar. There was a lot I liked about the Omnia, and a few things I hated. The touch interface was great when it worked, but it didn't work as well as it should, especially in comparison to the iPhone. I loved the idea of the homescreen widgets, but there weren't many to choose from and some of them weren't implemented well. And although I was able to use my semi-long fingernails to work around the problem, the Windows Mobile Start menu and X button were impossible for someone with large fingers and no nails like my husband to navigate without a stylus and inexplicably, the Omnia's stylus wasn't built into the phone.
The stylus is built in, the Samsung UI overlay makes everything far more touch-friendly without the need for the stylus, the touchscreen is more responsive, and some improvements have been made to the widgets. Swype is a new and fast way to enter text in the on-screen keyboards on smartphones; it's currently available on the Samsung Omnia II, and it's coming soon to Android phones. The Android version of Swype is still in beta. I was mightily impressed with a presentation I saw that showed how the Swype technology worked and how you could enter text at 50 wpm or more by using it.
I played around with it on the demo phone at a Verizon store and, even though it would obviously take a little practice, I could see its potential. I use my phone for many purposes many of which take priority over making voice calls and keeping up with my email is number one on the list.
I often need to formulate replies sometimes fairly long replies to messages, and doing that on a phone had always been slow and clunky at best and sometimes downright impossible. I wasn't satisfied with any of the solutions I tried for entering text on a phone: physical "thumb" keyboards both vertical and side-slide horizontal models , virtual on-screen keyboards, and even add-on Bluetooth keyboards.
