Diamond’s on-screen keypads available for other WM phones

Shortly after the HTC Touch Diamond was announced, an xda-developers user has extracted the on-screen keyboards, packed them in an installation file and posted them for download. So, if you have a Windows Mobile smartphone with QVGA touch display (VGA displays are not supported – we tested it) and want to use any of the three flavors (12-key, 20-key, full QWERTY) of Diamond keypads, all you have to do is download the application installation file (.cab), put it on your phone and launch it. It takes some time (up to 3:30 minutes), but after that works well for text input anywhere in the system. The full QWERTY also works in landscape mode!

QWERTZ is used in Germany and other German speaking countries

Exactly, when installed by default the language set is Italian. In the options switch it to English. You will also notice the dictionary will recognize English words.
