I've been using Swype for a few months. I was a little annoyed by the somewhat retarded prediction algorithm, and having to switch away and back to it every time I rebooted, but that's what you get for a Beta. The most recent version from a few days ago fixes a lot of that and runs so much more smoothly.

After seeing someone mention 8pen, though, I downloaded it, and damn, that thing is trippy.

swype. as a typical touch typist I wanted to use both my thumbs and classic qwerty keyboard but then I realised that it's not so comfortable - 4 inches vs two huge thumbs is a very bad idea.

My Captivate came stock with swype. I loved it. On a whim, I tried SwiftKey and I hated it (said in my best "Men on Films" voice); I uninstalled it the next day.

My fiance's brother, a fellow XDA member, suggested that I try FlexT9. It happened to be the free app of the day in the Amazon app store, so I downloaded it. I really like the versatility of the app, and that it is usually correct when predicting my text. It is my text input method of choice.

I didn't like the stock keyboard on my Desire HD so I tried Swype and Swiftkey but wasn't too keen on either.

Then the Gingerbread keyboard came out and I love the look and feel of it. Larger keys are great and the auto correction is near perfect as well.

[General Questions and Answers] GreenRaccoon:
GO Keyboard

I've tried a few, but I've stuck with GO Keyboard (on the Market). It has a QWERTY keyboard, a swype/slide keyboard, dial pad keyboard, and a T9 Word keyboard (it's free, too :D). I have an OG Droid 1, so I don't know how its slide keyboard compares to Swype (Droids never got Swype). It also has interface themes that you can download.

All of the GO apps are very organized, customizable, and loaded with features, but they might be a little too flashy for some people. They also take a little getting used to. For example, when the GO Keyboard is up, above the keyboard it will probably say "English." To see the full options, hold your thumb on the "English" button, then first swipe right (or left) and then swipe up or down to make a right angle or a hook (a lot easier than it sounds). An options screen will pop up where you can open up the GO Keyboard settings menu, switch layout, etc. "Switch layout" switches it from QWERTY to the dial pad/numerical keyboard (that option is the reason why I've stuck with GO Keyboard). The two buttons on either side of the "English" button also can be changed. To change them, do the same thing as you do on the English button: put your finger on the button, swipe right (or left), and then swipe up or down to make a hook.

It may sound really complicated, but it's actually pretty easy to figure out. Once you do, it's pretty handy.

I keep coming back to the HTC_IME Mod after having tried lots of others. Having been a blackberry user, I am used to typing with thumbs so don't get on so well with Swype. My wife, who was a 'one finger hunt and peck' typist loves Swype.

Swiftkey is good and is my second choice. Currently trying out Perfect Keyboard and finding it ok so far.
[General Questions and Answers] TraMaI:
I was using swype for the longest time and then, like you, I got Flext9 from amazon the other day. So far it's fantastic. I like how it has multiple modes (type, draw and trace) and it's EXTREMELY responsive. It's still the same style as swype with the tracing, but it just feels better.

I'd like to try swype, but I could never bring myself to do it. It seems important to be able to type quickly, but I've gotten along just fine until now with the HTC keyboard, recently the GB keyboard, and trying BetterKeyboard.

SwiftKey for me. I even purchased it for my girlfriends matching EVO Shift so I wouldn't have to deal with another keyboard while I was working on her phone. She uses the physical keyboard almost exclusively. I forget my Shift even has a physical keyboard until I feel it move slightly while I'm holding the phone!
[General Questions and Answers] Phandemic:
Using the Stock gingerbread keyboard for now. I have used Swype exclusively before but it really started to irritate me with how it added words all the time when I mis-Swyped something and deleted it, it became a part of my selections and that got cumbersome.

I am always looking at better ways to type on a touchscreen. Nothing beat hardware T9
[General Questions and Answers] sohanlon07:
Just spotted that SwiftKey autocorrect and the keyboard covers most of the screen in landscape.
[General Questions and Answers] kftgr:
Swype. I love the very useful swiping shortcuts, numpad, and edit screen. The shortcuts really help to keep up speed, especially when entering punctuation and correcting. Bad thing about Con: no autocorrect/prediction when tapping words. This makes tapping suck big time, as you have to be precise.

I got FlexT9 when it was free and was pretty impressed. Accuracy is

better than Swype, as it's aided by its dictionary. You can stop tracing in the middle of a long word and the word would still be in your choices. What's more, you can even finish up the word by tapping letters. Oh, and tapping is easy in that the letter pops up over you finger so that you can see what you pressed. The drawing mode is pretty accurate, but much slower than tapping or tracing. Probably FlexT9's best fallback when you need to type a lot of numbers.

So with all the good things about FlexT9, you'd think I'd be using it. No. I just can't get used to swiping with out the Swype shortcuts and numpad. If only the two keyboards combined their good points!
