.SH NAME
zhone - Debian/FSO phone UI
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B zhone
.SH DESCRIPTION
zhone is a UI for various Neo 1973 and Freerunner phone operations,
including making and receiving calls, and sending and receiving SMS
text messages.  The phone functions are implemented using the FSO API
over D-Bus.
.SH NOTES
Use of zhone should be intuitive, and so not needing documentation
here.  The following notes just cover a few points that are not (yet)
obvious.
.P
When entering text - such as when writing a text message, or entering
a contact name, zhone's default is to rely on some external input
method, such as a soft keyboard (matchbox-keyboard, illume, literki,
kbosd, cellwriter, etc.), or a Bluetooth or USB keyboard.  Therefore
it simply shows a big text box, and key presses from the external
keyboard are added to the text in that box.
.P
zhone also has a built-in keyboard like a phone keypad, and you can
switch to using this by pressing the green tick button before starting
to enter any text.  With this keypad, you can type 'a' by pressing 2
once, 'b' by pressing 2 twice, 'c' by pressing 2 three times, 'd' by
pressing 3 once, and so on.  This keypad does not yet support capital
letters.

Please reports bugs to the FSO smartphones-userland mailing list
