    Default Keyboard identical or VERY similar to iPhone?

    Hi I'm new to this forum, and this is my first post.

    I was just looking for a keyboard like the iPhone's.

    Features I'm looking for:
    To double tap the space bar to insert a period
    Have similar auto correct like the iPhone
    When you type in, for example "goeat" by accident, it will automatically correct it to "go eat"
    Etc.

    Thanks for the help!

    I use Go Keyboard.. it is free. It does all that.. and its white theme looks a lot like the iPhone keyboard.

    I tried that out, but it doesn't correct the two words combined thing...which really sucks :/

    So no keyboards like this? Or are there any keyboards with a wider space bar? I keep hitting the period and B key when I'm trying to space so.i.typeblikebthis.sometimes

    I use SwiftKey X and it has double space period and good auto correction and predictions. It doesn't separate one word into two, like you are looking for.

    I believe there is a free trial period just in case you don't like it.

    Try the 30 trial. Use the White theme. It is far beyond the iPhone keyboard.

    I wanted to know what the most accurate keyboard was. I don't rely on keyboards to spell for me. But I do want a keyboard that if I hit a letter it is accurate. I found the keyboards on samsung droids to suck and this is really important for me. I have had the IPhone for 2 weeks and I am looking to get the Galaxy SII but the keyboard on the Iphone is remarkably accurate.

    There are several keyboards in the Market. Most have free trials. Use several and find on that works for you. There's no one size fits all when it comes to keyboards.

    I just finished my swift key trial and I loved it. After a week or so of use it would practically write sentences for me if I was saying something I usually did or it came close. Only thing I did not like was it lagged a lot at times in landscape and would not respond or was so laggy that I'd have to switch out of landscape just to type out a message. That only happened with facebook, twitter and go sms, not emails, searching or very much when browsing the internet.

    Also seemed to be really random as it hadn't done that the past few days nor the first week or so.

    Random FYI but to my knowledge, almost every Android device with stock keyboards have double spacing period functions

    Stock ICS keyboard is fantastic it even separates combined words and is the only Android keyboard that does this to my knowledge

    I've uninstalled SwitftKey . . . the keyboard is just too cramped in both orientations and I hated the fact that voice dictation became 2 keypresses instead of one. While it may be smarter about predictive text, it needs something remotely resembling a real word to start from and the keyboard simply wouldn't allow that for me. I have much better luck with the multi-touch keyboard.

    I use something called Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard free. I've tried go keybaord and smart keyboard and swype and I find this ice cream one to be the most accurate and comfortable. Try it, it's free.

    Im using the stock ICS keyboard on my Nexus. It fits the phone's theme and design language better. I have swiftkey paid version but not using it.

    tip :
    if you change the autocorrection sensitivity to aggressive, you pretty much get the same result when typing as you would with swiftkey. just my 02

    The SwiftKey 3 beta (not available in the Play Store; you have to sign up at swiftkey.net) does such a good job of recognizing combined words that you can largely forget about the spacebar in general.

    Don't know if you ever found a keyboard that will recognize if you've skipped the space bar, but TouchPal keyboard does that. It also has double space tap for period, and I'm pretty sure you can get an iPhone skin for it. I'd check it out if you're still looking.
