Which Keyboard do YOU use

**jwebste9** · 08-19-2010, 08:07 AM

So which way do you use your droids keyboard? Maybe we can get a poll going? (Didnt see thread similiar, so if so sorry and mods delete)

1- portrait
2- landscape
3-physical

I use mine in landscape (think it is much more responsive since 2.2 update)
But i use the physical for when filling out forms

O and if you use a non stock keyboard that counts to. Personally i want to have swype

**Ratchet** · 08-19-2010, 09:09 AM

I use swype mostly when I do quick replies to texts or emails (portrait mode usually). If I have to type long emails, I use the physical keyboard.

Swype. Unless I have to use the terminal, then I use the physical keyboard.

Landscape form me. I have only "seen" the physical keyboard about 5-6 times. It is only opened when some one is looking at my phone... lol

Swype in portait usually but I've also been using the HTC keyboard lately. I really wanted to use the Droid X keyboard but it never worked right. I've also got Vlingo, and Swiftkey installed. I only use the physical keyboard in the terminal.

mainly physical.. curious about swype, but missed the beta

I hate the pop-up window for landscape! If I have to turn the phone the key board has to come out.
Swype in portrait though.

Physical for everything.

**rjdangerous** · 08-19-2010, 11:06 AM

swype in portrait.

**jwebste9** · 08-19-2010, 11:23 AM

I hope the swype beta re-opens or the put out an official version sometime soon

I found a working link online, took me a ton of trying but finally got it. Google around

I mix them all up. For longer messages, normally the physical. But if it is a quick reply to text I use the portrait virtual, or sometimes the landscape. :-)

I like the land scape (turned sideways) I would use the keyboard more but I value my spelling tips and auto complete a little too much

Portrait for me.

My reasoning is swype has enabled me to breeze through everything with one hand.

Swiftkey Beta is the best i think. I'm hooked on it. Its predictive text is awesome.

**en28so** · 08-21-2010, 12:32 AM

I use swift key beta

**saichick04** · 08-21-2010, 02:36 AM

I use the physical keyboard. I had swype but it doesn't seem to work on 2.2, but I rarely used it anyways.

**xliderider** · 08-21-2010, 03:52 AM

Used Droid X keyboard on 2.1, and use HTC keyboard with froyo. I only use the physical keyboard when in Recovery (D-pad).

**seanubis** · 08-21-2010, 12:16 PM

Using Swype on 2.2 here, works beautifully. I was a big fan of the physical keyboard at first, but it's been a few months and my keys are starting to feel... slow.. I guess.
