Dasur SlideIT Keyboard is an interesting application. As the name suggests SlideIT keyboard replaces the traditional Nokia keyboard and allows you type text by sliding your stylus all across the keyboard. The Dasur keyboard can be used in two modes i.e the ABC mode which is the normal Nokia like mode and the SlideIT mode which is sliding across the keyboard. It also has a Graffiti mode which supports only numbers and other mathematical operators and punctuations. Graffiti mode is nothing but the handwriting recognition mode.
Dasur SlideIT Keyboard does involve a little bit of practice before you can use it flawlessly. However, once you get used to it, you would not want to return back to the Nokia keyboard. The SlideIT keyboard also include "add to dictionary" function for your new words. It also has an intuitive T9 kind of function that keeps displaying all the different possibilities as you slide over the keyboard which is four keywords at a time. This is an impressive feature.
Dasur SlideIT Keyboard installs as an application which can be accessed from the Application menu and has options to active the Nokia or the Dasur keyboard anytime you want. It is a paid application and a demo can be downloaded from the Ovi Store. I have been successful in getting a demo file of the application that you can download directly if you do not have Ovi Store but you may have to sign the application.

Looks like this beat Swype, at least to the S60 platform. I’m gonna give the demo a go. Hopefully it’s as easy as I think it should be.
Tried the demo and really liked it, but it causes Ovi Maps to crash. Can anyone confirm if the full version behaves correctly (or suggest what might be causing the problem)?
Honestly, one of the better apps to hit the 5800. The only way Swype will beat it is native support on the Nokia keyboard.
I’m so glad that I can now type Russian on my 5800 as well.
