Personal Preference: Which keypad do you use? (Android, Samsung, or Swype?)

[Simba501]

Just curious to know which keypad everyone prefers. I used the Samsung keypad for a while and just switched to the Android keypad today to try it out. I think it looks great.

*For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about:

Menu > Settings > Locale and Text > Set default keyboard

I have been using the Samsung one.
I haven't graduated to Swype yet, and I am not too impressed by the Android KB. I guess I lik ethe spacing with the Samsung KB, I can type on that thing almost as fast as a real keyboard.... okay, maybe half as fast, but still MUCH faster than that thumb-working BB Storm (having to "click" the screen with each key).

I really like the Samsung keyboard and the copy/paste/arrow buttons when you long-press on the letter/number swap button.

Havent even worked up to Swype yet. I've had a physical keyboard for that past 5 years so I'm just getting used to the on-screen Samsung one.

So the Android one sucks huh?

I wouldn't say it sucks, it is just not as accomodating to my thumbs as the Samsung one...

You guys/gals that use XT9. What settings did you enable?

of the three swype seemed to be the way to go, but ever since i installed swiftkey, i've been using that and loving it.

I think it looks nicer, and while they aren't as spaced out, they appear bigger. I haven't been using it long enough to give an opinion on it just yet...

Just played around with it for a few min and it does seem to be a bit more friendly to my fingers than the Samsung.

Slide finger from i button to symbol button in swype - brings up menu.

I'm using the android one. I was using swype for a few days but I had to think to much while using it then the Samsung one wasn't to good at auto correction

I prefer the android keyboard. They keys are spaced out better for me. I agree with the other person that it requires too much thinking to use.

swype. much easier to type with one hand and while driving.. although i dont recommend anyone do that.

 

[Terrigno]

Im with the samsung keyboard also. The buttons are layed out a little bit bigger then Andriods and Swypes. Swype is cool once in awhile, but I dont see me swyping constantly lol

 

[cajuncartfan]

I feel like such an idiot! I didn't know about the copy paste arrows on the samsung keyboard. That is the keyboard I have been using. I have used the stock android keyboard and swype on my N1 and didn't like either.

While driving try using the voice-to-text on the android keyboard. Normally I don't like those voice options but it works really well

Samsung keyboard is best - especially after you turn on the auto suggest.

ive tried it but i found that i have to correct errors even more when i use voice over swype

Same here.

The Swype SEEMS faster, but without auto correction and with words that end in double letters, etc., I'm not sure it actually is.

I switched to Android and am basically using the voice input whenever possible. That seems the fastest.
