I was a Swype acolyte until I tried Swiftkey. That thing’s magic. Like you said, it’s amazing how much I use the same phrases. Sometimes it knows how I’m going to construct a sentence before I do. Definitely saves me keystrokes, and Swype, for all it’s cool factor, doesn’t save as much time as you’d think.

I will say this, though, and it’s a problem with all the new keyboards: They need to get together and figure out where symbols are going to go on mobile keyboards. It’s all sorts of stupid that the hyphen (for example) is on one letter for Swype, another for Android stock, another for Swiftkey, and yet another for Touchpal. Put it somewhere and leave it there!

Ugh, I hate Swype. When you DO make a mistake (and it will inevitably happen from time to time) or it picks the wrong word, it often takes more time and steps to correct then just typing on the stock keyboard!

Its fun to use because if feels like you’re typing really fast, but I tried to force myself to use it and found it frustrating for 90% of my typing. Not sure why everyone is still so gaga about it. Swiftkey is pretty good.
