It helps with the dropped keys, because it has a hardware keys predictive text feature. I love this keyboard, and I've had it less than 10 minutes.

Key find Zander I'm loving it. Its almost the mtm keyboard+swype which is what I've been looking for. Thanks.

Wow I'm a hardware key fanatic I deleted all of the software keyboards since the moment and now its like a freakish hybrid of both I love it already

I really liked this keyboard! I happened to find another keyboard called FlexT9, it has other awesome features too but one downside is it costs $4.99 USD. Plus it looks a lot better too.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input&hl=en

During the early TouchPal beta installing this would drop the function and shift key functionality in the hardware keyboard. (makes them not work) Can anyone confirm if this still happens, or has it been patched?

Been patched. Using the hardware keyboard right now, because TouchPal has a prediction for it, so skipped keys matter not anymore.

Am I the only one that thinks Swype 3.0+ is better? I'm trying really hard to like it but I can't help but feel like I'm typing significantly less efficiently.

Idk, I have no problems with either. They only thing I need to get used too, is that TouchPal adds a space when entering a word with the comma key, or period. I barley have to use the space bar, which is good, I'm just not used to it.

I agree there both good and I especially like the auto correct for the keyboard that's great. The only thing I would like is if there were themes for this keyboard cuz I'm not really liking the colours and if the symbols and numbers showed on the regular letters.

Thanks! I'm glad to have navigation and edit keys baked in

Willickers! If you slide the entire keyboard, it changes the layout!

Very nice. Like how it also adds features to the physical keyboard as well. Great tip! Thanks!

It says my SGS2 is not a compatible device.
I'm looking forward to this app. I have been waiting for this for so long.

Already signed up for the Beta. Its been a long time coming.

Been looking forward to an official app for some time now. Hopefully I'll be able to get into the BETA.

Anyone in posession of the apk?

I got in the beta yesterday (also gives you a extra invite on Steam to your friend). Overall a pretty smooth beta version,
having conversations with Steam friends pop out just like SMS messages although it is kind of in a 'iPhone' manner as its in bubbles. This app should definitely come in handy on it's next steam sale
http://store.steampowered.com/mobile for screenshots. Kind of silly how VALVe used Nexus One + ICS as photoshop instead of Galaxy Nexus

When I heard about this, I thought Steam was getting into the iOS and Android game business, which would be a logical train of thought. Unfortunately, it was something far less useful than that.

Just so you guys know they reached their 40k limit for the first set of invites, they said they'll be sending out more soon though
EDIT: My friend gifted me a beta key, so I guess anyone who is part of the beta can give out a key

Is there anyone who was invited and doesn't have any friends in android?

Welcome to the club.
I had it for a week. My thoughts.
After a year with HTC Sense (Thunderbolt), I'm finally back to vanilla android, since I'm a former Nexus One owner. Atleast this should get speedy OS updates (even if there's a slight delay compared the to GSM version).
ICS is good. As you install more and more apps, and have them running in the background, it might get laggy, but thats expected.
HOWEVER, since this has the 720p display, the text, especially in the notification bar, looks much smaller (compared to my T-Bolt), especially the '4G' icon or the clock. Not a biggie for me, but the 720p display makes the text and images look much crisper.
If you do use custom roms, i suggest you keep the radio that was installed on the phone out of the box, since i tried the 4.0.4 radios and had some signal issues with it. Went back to 4.0.2 radios, and no problems since.
I have only one thing left waiting from Samsung, a proper 3-pin car dock and a hdmi desk dock.

Unlock bootloader right as you get it. This way if you decide to root and flash custom roms then you can do it without losing any app data because you'll be able to back it up using titanium backup.

I'm coming from the bionic.
First thing I love ICS and chrome just love it. Shape and feel is so nice.
I bought a battery extender(1mm larger then the regular battery) horrible got 4 hours. I miss my bionic because of how well it connected to the network.
Nexus G has a horrible time connecting I hope they fix it just like they did the bionic. It is a bit laggy but that's a soft issue for sure Google will fix it.
It seams like its slow on purpose (my opinion)
All and all only way I'll go back to the bionic is if they dont figure out the connection issues.
Hope I helped.

Another bug, Try locking the phone while you have an active call. As soon as you unlock, the screen shuts off and you can't ever unlock it again until the person on the other end hands up.
Just make sure you test it with a phone you can manually hang up on the other end or you might have to wait till the battery goes flat to end the call lol. Not looking forward to my bill this month!

This is my brothers One X. He said if he can't get a stable Senseless vanilla ROM on it, he's replacing it with the Lumia 900 as soon as it hits Vodafone. Too many bugs and slow updates!

Here's one. If you have the phone set to end calls with the off switch and are using BT, when the screen goes blank there's no way to get it back w/o hanging up on the caller.

The grass isn't greener. I had one of the first SGS2's and while the bugs were different there were just as many and they were equally severe. The GN's launch was no walk in the park either. Sadly, we're now the last step in the testing process for all the manufacturers. The best bet is to wait two months from launch so that the phone can finally be "finished."

well there is a CM9 version up and he fixed data now, so it's more or less complete and development is fast.
And today htc released kernel source.

In the past 5 months I've used the Nexus S, Nokia N9, Sensation XE, iPhone 4s and now the GNex and honestly I love it the most! I was stuck on 4.0.1 with Vodafone Australia but I flashed the yakju build right away and received all the updates as soon as they were announced.

Ddoes it do this with the standard browser?
You are using the ICS+ from the market which is basically generic ICS.

iSheep have different mentality. At least where I work... "But... wait... how... Wait a minute, I can jailbreak and do the same, just watch me"
I am not holding my breath.

I work at JCPenney's and with former apple bigwig now running the show here, its amazing how many problems I encounter daily with CR-apple devices...
I just want to pull Ron Johnson aside and tell him to invest in XDA Devs to manage competent android devices... been waiting months for any new app, and the ones we do have have are in serious need of updating(months overdue)... to think how fast devs get things accomplished for practically nothing on XDA, while apple devs under contract with JCP take months to get anything done is a travesty

First, be sure to have both apps opened. Then, on one of the apps touch on the typing area, to bring up the keyboard. Write at least one letter, and it should be able to float around. I tried to make it float without writing a single letter and it won't. Maybe it's just me, but it worked as described. :thumbup:

I wouldn't be surprised if a jailbroken iPhone could do that. And it'd be worth more in 2 years - and it'd still be getting software updates too, which I'm almost positive our Note 2s won't be getting in more than a year. >>
However, one thing the Note 2 can do that the iPhone will never be able to do is use a stylus like the s-pen. Sure, you can use a stylus, but it's like drawing with preschool crayons.
Just thought I'd be the voice of reason here lol

I don't have a note 2. I have an iPod touch and an Atrix 4G.
Apps on the iPhone can't resize. There is no framework for it. Even if it were possible the screen is too small.
Also I haven't seen any alternative keyboards.
The iPhone has a solid, simple, smart experience, however it does not have the potential of Android. An iPhone looks nicer, works seamlessly but isn't as capable as an Android phone.
