I want swype but the beta is closed. Isn't there anything nice and legal I can do to get swype?!
There is "SlideIt" keyboard as well. Its pretty good, But it is not the same.
I always thought that ShapeWriter was superior to all of the keyboards in its class. That might be because it was the first one I ever used, though.
I was fortunate to get my beta version when they were open
Look for swiftkey it something like shapewriter and swype

When you say "I miss" it makes me think you had it before. That being said, if you had it before you can login and have them resend you the installer apk OTA. [Login on your phone]

Mind share with us the download link, so we could test it out?
yes yes download link
SlideIT and www.shapewriter.com
I haven't tried SlideIT, but I have been using shapewriter for awhile. Only downside is that shapewriter isn't recognized when using a few 1 or 2 apps.
SlideIt
I tried the Shapewriter beta when it came out for WM. I went and bought Slideit as it is much better. It has a mini graffiti and it easily learns words and you can turn off the recognition mode for passwords and other spcecial needs. I am running this on a Kaiser and use the KB all the time and now I rarely use it. Not sure I would even worry about a qwerty kb again with this app.
OK I TAKE MY COMMENT ABOUT SHAPEWRITER BACK
i reinstalled it into my phone and WOW lol
its really easy to use.
i think everything should try it out
any free software available?
Awesome
I am the slowest typer/texter ever. So I just purchased the ShapeWriter and it is worth every penny.
I think this is the second best thing ever created, next to toilet paper.
It's nice, but unusable for me, because I usually write in Czech!
new version should support xT9 and I've found ShapeWriter with czech t9 from sunny soft -> PM
Yeah... English, but how the **** will they port it to other languages? Import whole dictionaries or what... lol.

this software isnt out yet. if you go to their website you can read all about it.
I'm really interested to see how swype will work... I've signed up so I get notification when its out
I downloaded ShapeWriter and its working on my unlocked Fuze. I paid $19.99 for it.

That's not an easter egg, that's a one-off predition of a word it doesn't know. I do like that it knows that word, however. I am also a fan.

Hey guys, i came from the Motorola Milestone, and the only thing i miss about it is the hardware keyboard, and its taking me a bit to get used to the software keyboard on the play.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest a better software keyboard from the market i could download?
Thanks

Get in on the Swype beta.
i have always struggled with android keyboards so much so i hate texting now.
that's from about 5 android devices, the iphone one was fine but android sux for keyboard.
Swype my friend, Swype.
+1 for Swype.
I'm a little on the fence with swype.
I do a lot of swapping between that and swift.
I think after using swype for a day or two I miss typing the old fashioned way !
If you try swype & don't get on with it then give swift a try, it learns prediction really well & is probably fastest keyboard I've used for typing on Android.
Tried loads, always come back to Swype.
The only reservation is that it is in the longest Beta phase that I have ever experienced and so is not properly licensed. That means that you have to keep re-installing it when the temporary Beta license expires.
Swype all the way.

You can still type the old fashioned way with Swype as well.
I've tried most of the roms on here and most of the ones I've tried the keyboards that come with them suck. Now I'm not a developer and this is not to blame any rom developers. I just don't understand why the only good keyboard that was ever made for android is the Gingerbread keyboard. Swype sucks in my opinion and so does the samsung and android keyboards. The only keyboard that I like for android is the gingerbread one. I just wish that more roms would come with that keyboard instead of me having to flash it. Anyway rant over. All keyboards suck except for the gingerbread one.
People have differing opinions, I will only use swype as it's the only one I can do without even looking at my phone AND I hate to peck... perhaps my southern accent messes with voice to text b/c that is not 100% for me either.
Have you tried the flexT9? Pretty amazing and was free recently on Amazon.
Also, I made a thread a long time ago on tweaks you could do to swype to make it a lot more accurate... and the beta is a LOT better than the one that came with the phone. Sounds like you have no interest in it though.

Exactly. I've had it ever since I've had my Vibrant and never had to "flash it" when flashing any custom rom. Titanium always handle it for me.

I would highly recommend "Perfect keyboard" to you, on the market. its based off the gingerbread keyboard, with added features, functions, and customization options.....i use swype, but perfect keyboard is the only keyboard i will use that doesnt have trace input.
PS - you cant blame the developers for the keyboards that are available to choose from. most of the good keyboards on the market are paid, and therefore would be considered warez if they were injected into ROMs. they can only choose from free/stock keyboards.
you certainly cant just expect them to develop a keyboard app from scratch, because that very well may be beyond the skill level of some/most/all of our ROM developers. Unless a ROM is being cooked from scratch (coded from the ground up), which none of our Vibrant ROMs are, they're all based off Samsung code; it would be much more difficult to build a keyboard app than compile a ROM. Hence it would be an unfair expectation for our devs.
PPS - trolls, dont misinterpret what i just said. i am fully aware that most of these developers have more skill then me....all im saying is that everyone's skill is limited, and we should be respectfully wary of unfair expectations.

No offense man but can you read ? I didn't say anything negative about any developers. So don't tell me that I can't blame the developers when I didn't blame them. You need to read the whole post and not just the first sentence when you're responding to something. Otherwise people might get upset like I am now. I also don't expect anything from the devs, they build roms for us and I greatly appreciate it. I've hit the thanks button on every rom I've downloaded. Seriously why did you even reply to this ? It was a rant on keyboards. I didn't want to have a discussion about it nor did I want some moron coming in here saying I said **** I didn't say.
^ haha, true, and got a good laugh out of me for the troll comment. Sad we have to preemptively strike.

I love the tapping and customization on that! IF swype could have such good customization, it would honestly be perfect lol. I'm a swyper though. Tried everything else and keep going back to swype.

Will be trying out, Perfect Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard. I have been looking for good keyboards, swype is cool but just not for me, gb is ok. Samsungs sucks. swift key is ok. Flex t9 is actually pretty nice.
But thanks for the hints on Perfect and Smart always nice to have more options.
I have tried almost all of them and i find swiftkey to be the fastest and most accurate. After a while i hardly have to type much as it recognizes most words/sentences.
Gingerbread Keyboard, dude.
OR
If you dare, True Dvorak.
I'm trying to get used to that one because I will be turning my laptop's keyboard, too.

Have to agree here. I was really impressed after using it for a few weeks. I just hate pecking now.

Smart Keyboard Pro supports dvorak.
I use Swiftkey though, don't think any other keyboard comes close in ways of prediction.

agree, I tired 8pen which was an interesting keyboard but not for me. Too much of a learning curve, although once you got used to it it would probably be superfast.
I used to love swype and told many of my friends about it, but I HATED how it registers every single damn word that you type in, even if you misspelled it...
Anyone else a swype fan out there?
New 3.0 beta is up!
Un-install 'swype' app, update swype installer, install 3.0! Enjoy the new feature-y goodness!
Plays much better with the new gingerbread text input with horizontal word choice window!
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod.

You mean a new update to the 3.0 Beta? Or are you just late to the party because this has been out for a bit now.
It's so much better!!! My only complaint is I wish it looked like the gingerbread keyboard. The GB keys are sexy.
How does it compare to FlexT9? Longtime Swype user, finally bought Flex a month ago after getting sick of the popup word choice window in Swype. Flex is nice but I miss the little shortcuts in Swype (like slide from , to space to insert ", ") etc.

Still not a fan been trying since 3.0 was released
