+1. I have no idea how my wife uses the stock keyboard. She won't buy Apps either. She says she paid for the phone so they must do her the service now. I guess she doesn't accept there are individual developers on the market, hahahaha.

Bring up computers as an example. Does every piece of software on a computer come free? Haha, I don't know why I've been waiting to grab SwiftKey, this keyboard is just so bad.

Swiftkey turned my experience with this phone from "Ugh..." to "Hey!"

I come from a qwerty slider too~ so the fact swiftkey can make me just a liiiiiitle happier about being on slate, is an amazing thing.

Yes to everyone else SWK3 is epic. I can blaze on that thing and it is right 99% of the time. Except after commas, I must overuse commas.

But your wife sounds smart. A lot of the apps in the app stores are scams. They aren't worth one penny let alone $3-4.

You should see the HTC One series keyboard. They are terrible.

Hardware = very very nice. It feels so good in the hand with the rounded corners. Fit, look, and feel is awesome. Aside from the literally retarded designer who didn't put the bottom buttons in the center they did a good job.

Software = trash. I'm seriously getting sick and tired of a dual core with 2GB of RAM randomly getting stutters and then lagging on some web pages. When are the hardcore android fans going to admit that Google is incompetent at coding. They need to hire some Apple programmers because this beautiful hardware is seriously gimped by poor programming. To add insult to injury Samsung also pukes all over ICS with their UI. You're a hardware company, Samsung, not a software company. Fire whoever is responsible for gimping an already gimped OS. Rant over.

Am I the only one who likes a stock keyboard with no add-ons? No prediction, no auto correct, no suggestions...just type what you want!

Wow. QFT. My thoughts exactly, TW is trash, and Android should be better than it is on these phones like the S3 and the One X.
