| | Just signed up for the Swype Beta, I'll do the install when I get home to my wifi. | comments: Leave a comment     |
| | I still prefer my physical keyboard most of the time, but Swype is handy when I want a faster on-screen input (and can be done one-handed, too, which is nice, hee). | | (Reply) (Thread) |
| | I have an Evo, so no physical keyboard for me. Been looking at bluetooth keyboards, though. Swype is very nice, but I'll have to get used to it. | | (Reply) (Parent) |
| | I'm not really good at it yet, and it doesn't seem to work with my Gmail, but I'm loving the Swype. | | (Reply) (Thread) |
| | Hmmm, works with my gmail. I'm on 2.2, btw. I remember having all sorts of trouble with the gmail client on 2.1, though. | | (Reply) (Parent) |

| | How long did it take you to get proficient? | | (Reply) (Thread) |
| I kept it for a few days, but I have gotten used to typing with two (or more) fingers. The one-handed thing bugged me, and I am actually faster with typing. Also, the Autocorrect on Smart Keyboard Pro is really good, so I am used to only having to enter a few keys on longer words.
So, turned out I am not the target for that keyboard. If you do a lot of one-handed typing, or no-look typing, then I'd recommended it. | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |

| | Do you have a touchscreen keyboard or a regular one? Also do you type normal or landscape? (Sorry for all the questions!) | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |
| Touchscreen (evo). I normally type portrait, two-thumbing like a Blackberry. I can also lay it down landscape and 6-finger type (the evo is pretty large).
If I need more, I have a Bluetooth full keyboard.
I'm happy to answer. | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |

| Which bluetooth keyboard do you have?
I have an evo as well but I can't stand two thumbing it like my old blackberry. Sigh, I wish I could. | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |
| I have a Freedom Pro, it works well, but you have to be comfortable downloading, installing, and configuring a non-standard apk.
What problems are you having? I hated the stock keyboard and tried out several, before landing on the Smart Keyboard. | | (Reply) (Parent) (Thread) |
