Well what is it/what are you using. I am trying out swiftkey right now, its the first non stock keyboard I have used and I like it alot more then the stock one. Are there better options out there?

No there are not better options out there. You chose wisely, swiftkey is the best/fastest by far for sure. And if you don't like the way it does something, go into swiftkey settings and get it dialed in the way you like it. And if you still don't like something about the way it types, push the little microphone key and just speak what you want to say. It's unbelievably accurate and it gives you 3 versions of your sentence to choose from. I LOVE SWIFTKEY

Normal HTC keyboard but customized to your liking. That's my fav.

...upon you. Some people really like Swype. I tried it and was quite impressed, but found that my finger 'skipped' from time to time, and also, as well as I type, when I suffered a momentary "brain freeze" as to where a letter was, it messed up the text.

After tweaking it a bit, I chose Swiftkey. Its ability to predict my next word is occasionally spooky, and it is, at least for me, an improvement over stock. It does have occasional quirks (apps with which it does not behave as well) and on those occasions, I return to stock, and may even "forget" to switch back for a day or two.

Bottom line is, to each their own....find one you like and enjoy.

Have you looked at 8Pen at all? It has a HUGE learning curve, but it's neat if you have the time. Check out their website to get a better understanding

Anyone try 8pen??

I downloaded it last night because it was free,
its an interesting method of typing on the phone.
Takes a lot of time to get used to (I am definitely not there yet), and I'm not sure I want to invest the time to master it.
But it seems like a very fast way of typing if you do master it.

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this "keyboard"?
