Which keyboard available do you think is best?

[Guest popoyaya]

i personally prefer htc_ime. its got just the right amount of intuition that i need in a smart keyboard. Plus, there are high as well as medium resolution versions available, so im sure u can find one for your pulse.

does this need a rooted phone as all i get is a blank screen?

Swype... BUT since it's still in beta, it's quite buggy. Issues I have with swype: Really laggy and slow, does not remember new words I put in, does not delete words from dictonary when I ask it to do so and keeps showing me swype tips even when I have them turned off. So in short: Swype is great, but they really need to fix the above bugs before i start using it.

SlideIT is an alternative, but I don't like it. Swype just feels better and moreover has better word recognition. For instance if I want to trype 'en', I swype en. If I want to type 'een', I double swype an e and then n.

SlideIT doesn't have this possibility. It doesnt support swiping one letter multiple times to indicate your want that letter twice or something, so it always shows me 'en' instead of 'een' first, which is highly annoying.

At the moment, I am using Smart Keyboard Pro. It's the best keyboard I have tried so far. Fast/responsive, very good word recognition and user dictionary.

I have used this

But don't know how to install this version.

When I install this it says swype will replace previous version (2.6 in my case). but then I get application not installed error.

I like the stock Android keyboard. I'm 95% accurate typing with this.

For some reason, I was making more errors on the HTC keyboard mod.

[Guest G0DSPEED]

I had no trouble with the HTC_IME keyboard when first installed, fast and accurate. However it now seems to of become a laggy mess for some reason :P It also has a has a mind of its own adding full stops followed by an automatic space then a capital letter for no reason whatsoever. Also after entering a full stop it will automatically put a space in so typing web addresses (.co.uk etc) is a real fiddly job.

Gonna try some other alternatives.

Smart Keyboard Pro (Android Market) is my absolute fav KB Fast and reliable...

[Guest Nick Rhodes]

Tried swift keyboard and I found the predictive text kept swaying between telepathic and pathetic for the way I type and compose Wnglish which made it frustrating.

I've tried Touchpal version off market place and pre installed, both good, but due to lack of utilising custom dictionary made its prediction not optimal (I wont go as far as saying bad). Also find the UI not quite as slick as Smart keyboard or HTC IME, presentation of the suggested words for example.

I am currently torn between HTC IME and Smart keyboard, both have similarly good quality predictive text and keyboard layouts, differences in how suggested words are displayed.

I've only had a quick play with Swype on a friends phone and it does seem rather good concept.

Which ever keyboard I try to install it doesn't work anyway?

Is there anything else that I need to do apart from selecting the keyboard in settings?

[Guest Solten]

I prefer the stock Android... :P

You don't select it in settings, you select it by tapping and holding in a text input window (for example typing a txt message) then you can 'select input method' and choose the keyboard to use :P
