Sorry there is like thread link to another thread, to another thread. What is the benefit of the Desire keyboard?

 

[thesoulsniper1]

What? I think it looks better than the android keyboard, and the keys are spaced more spaced out. It seems more responsive to.

I was just asking, I wasn't being sarcastic.

Not that I use the landscape keyboard, but not having it is a deal breaker. I'm not gonna give up functionality for a different keyboard.

when i opened the apk in astro it couldnt open the file as an apk...not sure why, but i give up easily so its just sitting on my sdcard for now...

Had a parse error the first time I downloaded, but downloaded it again on my PC and transferred it to the SD card and it worked. Looks and works great in portrait mode. I don't really miss landscape as I can type well enough portrait for this to work. The settings say it should do predictive text for the hardware keyboard, but it doesn't. Attached a screenshot of the keyboard.
