You want to make a phone call to a person, who is number 50 down in your list of contacts? Open Contacts and now you have a choice: either you push the joystick down 50 times, or you have to open the keypad and enter the first letters of her name. Not so if JoyKick is running in the background: press the joystick twice quickly and a virtual keyboard pops up, where you can "type" the letters with a minimal number of joystick actions...
JoyKick supports predictive text input and numbers input: it detects the input mode of the application in the background and pops up the virtual keyboard suited to the situation.
Try JoyKick now and you might find out that it is easier to use than the normal keypad, even to take notes or send emails. The only thing that you will not do without opening the keypad or your Nokia 7650 is... take pictures .

Soft Keypad supports normal text input, predictive text input (T9) and numbers input: in most situations, it will detect the input mode of the application in the background and pop up the virtual keyboard suited to the situation. You can even switch the input mode of the device from normal text to predictive text and back with an Options command of Soft Keypad...
