I'm looking for keyboard that makes it easier for me to type with no mistakes.
I've come to the Desire from the Dream, and it's taking me a while to adjust to virtual keyboard. The HTC Touch Input is ok, better than the standard Android, but still not as good/accurate as the iPhone.
Is it true that the Android keyboards cannot do proper multi-touch?
I'm currently downloading every keyboard I can find to try & find a better match for me, but would appreciate some suggestions.
I found smart keyboard pro to be the best do far. I also can from the g1 and using smart pro, I don't miss my old hard keyboard at all.
Smart keyboard also does predicted text in the search bar. Very good.

I'm no pro when it comes to these things but I have read a fair amount on here when it comes to these things, but I'm confused so hopefully someone can clarify..
I've got my new Compact 3 from T-mobile and I really can't stand the qwerty keyboard. It works fine with the stylus but it's just not any good for finger typing. I quite like the Touch version where the keys are quite a bit larger, so here's the question..
is it possible to get another input keyboard working on this device without the need for a replacement rom? I'm happy with the officla T-mobile WM6 version I upgraded to at the weekend.

This one is good and free at the moment.
what will happen with the standard keyboard? will I still have choice to use the small keys one?
is there a way to add the touch keyboard but with Russian layout/letters without changing the rom?
I use resco keyboard, it's commercial but I haven't found any other keyboard for that price/features. It supports Russian and about 20 other languages. It seems to be working a little slower than other keyboards but not that much.
Try this one:

It's a very good keyboard, with tons of features, for me the big keys are a must-have.

I second this one, once you practice and get used to it, works very well.
I was not to happy with the pocketCM and it was the most recent version too. I've heard good things about the TouchPal and the SPB keyboard but before I buy the I'd like to know the thoughts of others. Do you use one of these keyboards? what do you think? Do you use something different?
ezinput QVGA. There's no xt9 for the vogue, but the full QWERTY is brilliant
Get Touchpal. It's one of the best out there and I'm thoroughly satisfied. It's less than $10 now and worth every penny.
I've been playing with Finger Keyboard for a bit now and seem to like it. I'm not even a full qwerty type of person.

I am a pretty big fan of touchpal version 2.0. I tried version 3 and it was really clunky and laggy for me. I see no reason to even try V4(aside from maybe spell correction), version 2 has always worked perfectly for me and performed exactly as i would hope a keyboard would (word suggestion, saving) and best of all it is from a better time when 300 kb of program was free.
mine works on qvga for sure not sure if it will work on any other resolution

Hi
I am planning on getting an HTC Desire as soon as O2 get their finger out and release it.
But I have a question regarding the keyboards.
I do plan on trying Swype, however, I think I would only like to use Sywpe while the device is in Landscape mode. I would like to use the standard phone keypad (buttons 1-9) with T9 predictive text input?
Is this possible, or do you need to use the same in each orientation?
I gather there is a multi touch problem when changing keyboards, but it can be solved by a reboot?
Thanks
Stu
Pretty sure it's the same both ways - I don't use Swype as the Desire keyboard is good enough to be quick
It's the same in both ways but it's not like it's hard, or long to change the keyboard type.
Just my two cents: Had a HD2 which I felt it was necessary to install Swype on due to the keyboard being jumpy and prone to double-entry.
The desire's keyboard is ridiculously impressive. Haven't found myself wanting Swype as the correction and capacitive detection are fantastic.
I heard the keyboard for WP7 is nice by default and ill find that out when i get my phone in a couple days but i was wondering if there will be any other keyboards for WP7 like Android has SWYPE. Do you think they will come with the upcoming updates , apps on the marketplace, or with the WP7 "Jailbreak"?
There are no other keyboards available at this time.
However, I can say that the WP7 keyboard is, in my opinion, the finest software keyboard on the market, hands down.
Swype and the HTC IME keyboards on android are good.. but they pale in comparison to this one in my experience.
Agree 100%.
The buttons are not bigger than Android..but I seem to be able to type more accurately on WP7. No idea why. Nice, nontheless.
I've bought my device (HTC HD7) in Germany and it doesn't have Cyrillic keyboard. It's not a problem for me to use English interface, device supports displaying Cyrillic fonts but I can't type text on two Cyrillic languages which I'm using the most.
Do not having the ability to add Cyrillic keyboard at the moment is THE MOST ANNOYING thing with the device. I simply can't use it for basic needs like writing SMS or e-mail to somebody on my native language. When buying the device I thought that It shouldn't be a problem adding a keyboard but now I am very disappointed. Need to use second device (old Nokia smartphone) each time when I should write something on Cyrillic on the way. Ironically, HD7 does not support sharing Internet connection to my secondary device, so I have to pay for two Internet-enabled plans which makes me completely unhappy.
Is any way to help me without selling the device back?
Hi guys, do you know how can I get Russian keyboard on my spanish WP7 LG e900?
thanks!

are wp7 devices sold in countries that use that language? If not, I'm not sure you will get any support from microsoft until they are.

From about three weeks of use so far, I'd say it's the second-best software keyboard I've ever used, after the iPhone keyboard. I can usually type faster than I could on the HTC keyboards on WM and Android. On the iPhone I could type without even looking down because the autocorrect works amazingly well for the most part-- not quite there yet on WP7 (despite a physically larger screen and thus keyboard), but almost.
For now, there's no way to replace the keyboard, though for standard use, you probably won't need a replacement one. Makes sense for non-Latin characters, but WP7 basically lacks Unicode support (very few character sets built in), so it can't do much for non-Latin scripts anyway.
I find WP7 to have the second best keyboard ever, too. But, I disagree in that I find it more accurate than the iPhone keyboard (or at least better at autocorrection). I find the autocorrect makes fewer contextual errors and will allow many intentional strange words while correcting most typing errors.
However, the keyboard on my Blackberry 9700 still rocks the Optimus 7
I dunno, but I don't think I will ever be as efficient in typing on the virtual keyboard as the real one. Aside from accuracy, it is simply far easier to enter common symbols (like quotes, dollar signs, dashes, and parenthesis) and numbers. Parltly because physical keys allows for more accurate smaller keys. Also, having a real mouse-like cursor is massively useful for typing and editing.
Ok fine, yes, there are WP7 devices with slider keyboards, but I dislike sliders... yes, yes, I'm picky.

well when phones start coming out with the chassy 3 (candy bar style) then you will have a windows phone which also has the same layout as your blackberry.

Hello. i am posting here, in desperation for not being able to find a working T9 keyboard. I used smart keyboard pro, which used to work wonderfully on my HTC HD2. Now i have a Galaxy s2, and with the stock rom it didn't work properly. I type very fast, and the program is not able to "detect all the keypresses accurately?" and i cannot write correctly. I installed Android 4.4/CM 11 AOKP (Pound rom) and still the problem resides. I tried so far:
-perfect keyboard, both free and pro
-black bolts keyboard
-super keyboard
-smart keyboard pro
-sony experia z1 keyboard (couldn't even open it. force closes, instantly)
I just wanted an old school Compact T9 keyboard, with Portuguese dictionary. Seems pretty simple, but it's becoming a burden to find one that works! Anything of help would be appreciated...
I've been using swiftkey for many many years, it works really well and builds its dictionary using your email, facebook, sms and twitter vocabulary. Try it, I think you'll love it.
See ya!
thanks for replying. But since when is swiftkey a compact T9?
still looking for an alternative.. help anyone?
Problem solved. Touch pal x keyboard works like a charm with full t9 working. This thread can be closed
