I want to add a feedback section for my users, and need a multiline text input for them to write into.
It looks like CCEditBox has superceded CCTextFieldTTF - is that true? Neither seem to be multiline though.
Do I have any other options? My main target is Android and so could make it launch a different activity for just that feedback page (somehow), but I wanted to keep it platform independent so I could easily go to iOS and blackberry…
I do not know the answer, and I am interested if someone have a working solution, but here are some infos :

Yes that’s true. For example, CCTextFieldTTF doesn’t seem to support switching the keyboard type, and have less features.

If that page is really important and you really need that feature, I’d advise doing a native implementation. That’s really the main option. It doesn’t seem to be very time-consuming to implement, unless your page have tons of other things. Or you could just do a custom input implementation just for that and keep the rest in cocos2d-x.
Thanks, I’ve decided to make the app launch a web browser and they can do the feedback on a web page. So avoided the problem rather than found a solution.
I used the code from this thread to do the browser launch; http://cocos2d-x.org/boards/6/topics/11290 It worked well for me, but it looks like the code never made the main branch. Anyone know why, or whether the same functionality is elsewhere?
