What keyboard do you use?

I'm curious what keyboard you guys are using for this phone. I know there are other threads in other sections of this forum but I want opinions from users of the Motion.

I tried a few; swiftkey, Go keyboard, and A.I Type Keyboard. I think I tried a few others too. So far I like A.I Type the best but it has issues with typing in this message board sometimes.

I have reverted back to stock temporarily and I'm going to try using swiftkey or others again. I'm really new to smartphones so it is taking me a while to get used to typing with no physical keys, but I am getting better everyday.

I've been using swift key 3. Purchased.

Okay, but sometimes the autocorrect seems too aggressive. I still hit keys incorrectly. And although says it allows for more than one language, when I set it for two languages, autocorrect was very often completing words incorrectly.

Motion specific, I'd say the physical screen space could be used slightly better to make the keys just slightly larger.

So I'd rate it as a meh.

Stock Swype too, once you get used to it, there's nothing better than typing (or in this case swiping) with only one finger.

I tried Swype once when I first got the phone and I really wasn't used to it. I will have to practice with it some more.


I use Big Button Keyboard, cause I have fat fingers lol.
Oh my, lol. I just looked up Big Button Keyboard and wow that sure is big! Not sure if I would be used to that, but great idea though.

apparently i am the only one who absolutely loves the Gingerbread keyboard...

it's simple and easy...i fell in love with it when i first flashed over CM7 on a device a while back...and now, well..i use it for everything..


but thick buttons is an awesome keyboard for people with small screens
You're not the only one! I got used to it when I got my first android. Which was the LG Optimus 2 years ago. I've had 3 phones since then and download the Gingerbread Keyboard on them. I've tried stock and swype along with other ones in the market.. Just don't like any of them..
