Reasonable Spell Checker?

[ScottieG59]

Nobody seems to have found a reasonable spell checker for Android. I guess I took this feature for granted. My Blackberry Phones all had a spell checker. If I do not find something, the Android will be little more than a trinket. I am actually thinking of going back to my Blackberry for this one single advantage.

I do not want to have to copy and paste or do extra things. The spell checker should be seamless and fully integrated.

It is way too easy to make errors and the technology is readily available on Blackberry.

Withe all of the thousands of joke applications out there, how about something really useful, like a spell checker that integrates fully.

I have no idea why you would need one, I am typing faster than I typed on my old BlackBerry, unless you cannot memerize a qwerty keyboard, this will never be a problem. Now if you are talking about the software keyboard, it is a breeze and I wrote this entire thing with it in portrait mode

hence "memerize"...

IMO spell checker, especially on a touch screen device, is essential functionality. I am, too, surprised that Android 2.1 (not sure about 2.2) does not have it built-in.

That's just good comedy there...

Man, I love this phone, I really do!

I already dl'd a bunch of great apps, tweaked the setting to my liking, got all of my accounts working flawlessly, but...

and it's a big one.

spell check. know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but when you are constantly sending emails to clients, I really can't have misspelled words.

You have no idea how crappy I feel right now, just the thought of returning the phone is making me sick - but I can't have a phone with no spell checker.

I take it you are mainly using the hardware keyboard to do text entry. I recommend using smart keyboard pro. Not only is it the best keyboard on android IMO, it also has word suggestions when using the hardware keyboard, allowing you to check your spelling and suggesting words as you type.
