Is there any tool to explore on this , please let me Know Without changing the appearance of the onscreen keyboard, the Windows Phone software favors the user input that is most likely as a word is being typed. For instance, if someone has typed "accordio" the software could favor the next character being an "n" rather than a "b. Tom Adams, another member of the testing team, was skeptical that he could get used to a software keyboard, having lived on a BlackJack 2 device, which had a hardware keyboard.

Now, he said he doesn't even think of using a hardware keyboard. The real test, he knows, will come if he can convince his wife to go with a touch screen only phone. The level of detail into which Microsoft went was surprising, down to researching the impact of the phone's various sounds. For instance, after some research, the company opted to have multiple touches on the software keyboard produce multiple different sounds as opposed to repeating the same tone over and over, a choice it said is both less pleasing and less tactile for the user.

The investment in testing was part of a broader effort by Microsoft to improve the quality of Windows Phone 7 over past company efforts. Another key part of the effort was Microsoft's decision to limit the variations that phone makers could have. To use Windows Phone 7 software, hardware makers agree to use one of a narrow set of specifications with room to modify only certain aspects of the device, such as whether it has a keyboard or not or which type of screen is used.

That's a big contrast to past versions of the software where phone makers could change virtually everything from the chips that the phones ran on to the types of components and features included to the screen size and even the user interface. Microsoft hopes that the decision to narrow the options will make it easier for those who want to write programs, essentially ensuring that software that runs on one Windows Phone 7 device will work on any other Windows Phone 7 device.
