    Default Use numpad as keyboard for Sms on 3.0+ ?

    Hey.. Does anyone know of anyway I can simply use the numpad used for dialing numbers instead of the full keyboard? I often am in class and need to send a quick text, and I am used to not looking at my phone texting.. Until I got this iPhone that is.

    I have heard of multitap from Cydia, but it doesn't work on 3.0+ and changing it to latin ABC is a pain in the *** as it is not predictive.

    Anyone know of a solution? Uses the same predictive system as the keyboard, only with the numberpad instead of letters..

    Thanks, Matthew.

    Ugh, think I might just bring my iPhone back then..

    Someone must have done something about it.. I'm sure it is quite diserable.

    theres an app in the app store , Big Finger Keyboard , its the closest i can see us getting to it , unless multitap is updated.

    But howcome it is so difficult for developers to just change the default keypad to the numpad one? For instance, I have an app called eirtext pro which uses the numpad with letters to either type numbers or a contact name, but for the actual text you have to use the keypad.. Cannot be impossible

    Not even the same numpad as the one used if u unlock your ipod and have to enter a password?

    this would be very useful.. im surprised no ones made it for 3.0
    whats the site for the multitap author? maybe someone can ask him to update it or get the source code from him and a dev here could fix it up?
