Virtual keyboard.

[motodroid.md]

The HTC virtual keyboard is so much better and way more accurate. Has anyone figured out or fixed the resolution problem when that keyboard is ported over to the motorola droid? It works well but looks like ****.

I tried both out, didnt find the HTC to be more accurate. When in landscape mode I can fly like a spaceship on the phone.....portrait is another story (but we got sick spell check)

Swype is the way to go IMHO. After a day of use I can fly on it.

I haven't used it yet, but Swype does look pretty awesome.

My wife and I both tried out the Eris and Droid in the Verizon store. For both of us typing on the Eris was much more accurate than on the Droid...that's one of the main reasons why she settled on the Eris over the Droid. I think there IS something to HTC's keyboard that increases the accuracy.

I like better keyboard just to change the look around. The auto correct works pretty well so its all good.

I was pretty spot on accurate with the better keyboard when i had sounds and/or vibration on with the key touch, butt that eats up way too much battery so I find I am about the same with each of them (I feel that 2.0.1 helped with the typing on the android keyboard). I have also used swype (shapewriter) and am pretty quick with that, the fact that I can click on any word at any time and change it is such a nice feature. That keyboard is also pretty darn accurate to type on too (the normal way).

Swype is only available via carrier distribution. Posts asking how to obtain it will be deleted.

I have swype but found it really slowed my Droid down overall. Found it odd but tested it a few times.

It sometimes dropped a word into my sentence that I did not want but overall liked the concept.
