One more vote for Swype. I hated texting. Able to type 80wpm on a physical keyboard for the computer. I always found thumb typing to enter text on mobile devices limiting and frustrating. Ever since I loaded Swype, I can enter about 40wpm and the fluid motion of typing one handed makes--it dare I say--fun. Every person I've shown the keyboard is amazed and even my hard to impress boss whistled and stated, "That is the future of mobile keyboards"
Because of Swype, I no longer get iPhone envy. This one program makes my Droid the superior choice.
Don't hesitate to install it, it is very stable. Don't get frustrated. One quiet afternoon, take the 15 minutes to get through the tutorial (provided in the program) and learn to use it. The more you use it the easier (and more fun) it is to use.
PHYSICAL KEYBOARD. I was a little disapointed with the keyboard at first but no i can type really fast on it. The other keyboard is still great.:motdroidvert:
Another for Swype, im amazed at how accurate and fast it is. I was using the physical keyboard ALL of the time, but since I downloaded Swype last night, I haven't opened it....I'm sure I'll still use it some, and I'm glad it's there if and when I need it.
I am also a fat finger typer lol. However, Swype solves this with its interface you should really try it. I could seriously get rid of the harware keyboard now.
I use the virtual keyboard in landscape, I've only used the physical keyboard once and that was for installing OS 2.0.1. I don't even think about it being there.
