Sorry, bad day for emailing. I am resending the mail with mailing list address included.

Actually I tried setInputMethodHints(Qt::ImhDigitsOnly).
 The problem with this hint is that when I enter the field for editing, 
my (hardware) keyboard will always be in text mode and the field does 
not accept any alpha-characters. I need to lock the Fn key manually to 
be able to enter the numbers.

I want to make it 
more user-friendly and enable the number mode automatically when the 
cursor/focus is in this field. This way user doesn't have 
double-press/lock the Fn key before entering numbers in this field. How 
can I do it in Maemo/N900?
