It is a fast keyboard, I stick with the stock one for that reason. (And buying, selling, trading is not allowed on the forums).

I highly recommend Swype. It doesn't get much faster than that.

+1 and there is a site somewhere with themed Swype keyboards as well if you'd want a themed keyboard...if I find the link I'll post it, if it's allowed (I know posting themed Swype keyboards seem to be frown upon in many forums)

Well I picked my Nexus up last Friday and retired my DX to someone that broke there Iphone 4s. LOL I love the screen and speed along with ICS. But the battery life and drop signal just plain sucks. I'm still reading, but once I get it figured out it will be rooted and so on. Probably will get a extended battery also (2100).

Congrats msu!! And the issues seem to be hit or miss so do your research and see what you can come up with.

The biggest and best thing you can do to help battery is keeping the screen brightness as low as you can stand all the time...my experience is lowest brightness = 3-4 hours screen on time, high brightness = 1.5-2 hours (I don't put my phone down enough to really test standby time)

Well since I posted last, I got the 2100 battery, rooted, put gummy and now Aokp. I have used the kernals that came with the roms and francos. I also turned down my voltage and dropped down one on my cpu max. With all of that, I never get more then 8 hours. I was however just using auto adjust on the screen, but now I'm trying to run with screen on the lowest setting I can handle, but in the sun it has to be on auto for me or I can't see it. Kind of a shame that we have to do this with such a pretty screen. Love the phone, hate the battery life.

Although I'm complaining a little, I will keep on it and try to figure all the settings in Franco app out. Maybe I will find the right settings and be happy.
