Samsung SPH-i550
How does one input text into the i550?
The current i500 has a grafitti input area for use witha stylus. The i550 has no such area. Any ideas? Or is this a "read-only" Palm device?
...
So, does anyone with the i500 know, can you also use the number keys for text input when writing SMS's, like on a normal phone?
...
Yes you can use the keypad using triple-tap for alpha text, or you can use the graffiti. The * key changes keypad input from: lower case, sentense case, uppercase, numbers, symbols in a cycle. Most applications are smart about setting the default (ie: memos default to text input, dialing defaults to number input. (re: i500)
...
Although the silkscreen input area is gone in the lower half, it has been replaced by a much improved four-directional nav pad. Lots of people wonder where text input now occurs. It can take place in the keypad using triple-tap, but for graffiti lovers, you will find that the upper screen now takes graffiti input directly on the display screen.

With all of the talk about the Treo, it's not even here on this site. That's surprising as they usually have a phone months before it's out. Which OS version is being used, as someone said that it was ahead of the 550 in this regard? 5.2.1? Not 6, I would suppose.
I'm also not too sure about the amount of memory in the 550. This site says 64MB, others say 32. Which is right? Sometimes one site, feeding off another, gives more erroneous information, but it seems correct because there are several sites citing it.
Also, kerton is correct about the input. Graffiti II is now being used, as Graffiti is out due to licensing issues. I believe they call the new on-screen input "text anywhere".
