It's still very frustrating getting use to typing on a larger keyboard. It's been a few weeks and I still miss spell just about every single word I type!! I also haven't found the perfect keyboard. Any suggestions? I've used Google and Swiftkey. I could also use suggestions on a better email app. I don't care for having 2 separate inboxes for gmail and my 2 yahoo accounts. I would like them all in one.
I am liking this phone more and more. I got 18 hours out of one battery yesterday......
Are you talking about landscape or portrait texting? I use Swift Key and have it set up so that in landscape mode, I have the arrow keys in the middle, which makes thumb typing much easier. I would just give it some more time. In portrait mode, two hand typing is pretty comfortable with the normal layout. I couldn't even type with two hands in portrait mode on my iPhones because my hands are too big.
I don't use the garbage email app or gmail app. I use Aquamail. You can download it for free. It has tons of options, supports IMAP push and is a very great app. The only thing with the free version is you are limited to 2 email accounts and it will put a signature in your emails. Something like "sent from Aquamail app." I bought the full version and love it. Aquamail has a smart folder so all your emails will go into one if you like. I have my work email, yahoo and gmail accounts all through the Aquamail app and it works great.
Others here will suggest Blue Mail or K9. I haven't tried Blue but I liked Aquamail over K9.
