I love my Nexi very much, almost as much as i love kittens........almost...cuz i love kittens a whole bunch

Yes I love it. However I am thinking about exchanging it for another one due to a defective back key that is not as responsive as the other keys.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have anything to complain about the phone ,seems to be flawless.

I am enjoying my Nexus S for the peace of mind it brings: knowing I'm running stock Android and that I'm going to get future updates first.
Having said that, I do wish the experience wasn't marred by issues and glitches (specifically with the random ringtones, and the occasional, yet nevertheless frustrating, screen scrolling and icon issues). I'm looking forward to the next bug fix update. Fixing these issues I predict will go a long way in making me really happy.
I'd like to add: One aspect of the phone, and of Android in general, that I feel sorely about is the keyboard. No matter how one twists it - for example, one might say it's improved over previous Android keyboards, which is true - it pales in comparison to the accuracy and response of Apple's keyboard. This is not to start some immature Apple vs. Google flame war; anyone who has typed extensively on both platforms will understand the difference. It's also a shame Google seems insistent on copying even Apple's mistakes, for example, the lack of customization and custom auto-correct features. I can't wait until Blindtype is implemented. It's sorely needed.

I don't understand your keyboard issue? Will you elaborate? I have used an iPhone extensively and still can't figure out how to make it do Swype...
Regarding your glitches, I recommend an exchange - I have none of those issues...

I use NS rotate with MT4 on main line (has 4g web attached), but I may upgrade 3rd line to preferred 4G web in order to use along with MT4.
NS and MT4 are great phones, and probably they're the best phones for T-Mobile so far.

IMHO I think its common for new phones to have some sort of fault, its not perfect but of sure is a great device.

I'd agree. I was an iphone user for nearly 4 years and it is one of the most difficult parts of switching to Android. The iphone keyboard did seem to be much more accurate (Or maybe after years of typing on it, i was just REALLY used to it). I did originally download the swiftkey keyboard, which seemed easier to get used to originally but i had a problem with SMS that could not be solved any other way but a factory restore. And since then i've given the stock keyboard a bit more of a chance and after a couple of weeks i have to say it's not nearly as bad as i originally thought.

Love it just like did the nexus one
Great phone
Believers b3ar fruit with their Nexus S.....

@onthecouchagain The gingerbread keyboard is way better than iOS and a million times better than Froyo's. I can type at crazy speeds, make a bunch of mistakes, and the prediction gets it right almost every single time.

you have to manually change the settings in the keyboard to enable vulgar language. Try that if you haven't already

Or even the iPhone Keyboard Emulator, it's not perfect, but it's the closest you will get to the iPhone keyboard on an Android phone.

YES!! Literally, for the last 2.5 weeks I have been completely glued to my phone. This was, by far, the greatest purchase I've ever made. I absolutely love this phone!!

I think blindtype has already been used in the keyboard, no?

Ironically, i'm still spending more quality time with my I9000M than with the Nexus S
the SNS works out of the box, almost perfectly, there is no major flaw, nothing to FIX
in the other hand the SGS it is full of PROBLEMS, and in a weird twist of thing, it's fun to FIX it
it'll be horrible though if that was your only phone, and you need it for business.
as a DEV toy, it's fund
I can finally go all out, trying all kind of crazy things on the SGS to fix it, and make it work better, now that I've got a reliable SNS to use for my daily business

I love my phone too! I can't wait for the development to get to a point where the N1 is. I love modding my phone, I just wish I knew how to do some development myself.
The only thing that made me regret the purchase was the HD2 getting NAND two days after I bought it.

I suppose everyone's experience is different, but I find when typing on an iPhone (or even an iPod), the keyboard response and speed is superior to Android's - I find myself typing far more confidently. (Anybody else constantly type "km" when trying to type "I'm" with stock Android keyboard?)
I'm using Smart Keyboard Pro already, and it is indeed a step up from stock Android keyboard. However, it seems to not be optimized for Gingerbread. I've reached out to the developer but haven't heard from him yet. It seems to especially miss space bar taps, so I'll often get words likethis; it also seems to miss really fast presses, especially when letters are close to each other. A common example is "you". I'll try the iPhone emulator keyboard that someone suggested and see how that goes. Thank you.
Edit: It looks like the iPhone keyboard, but it doesn't type like the iPhone keyboard. I'm not sure if this is software related or hardware related, but something about the Nexus S screen is almost too sensitive - you can hover your finger over the screen and it'll register presses; this might be making the typing experience worse than it should be. I don't know. I'll stick to Smart Keyboard Pro, which is as responsive as it gets typing on Android. Plus, it has no-brainer features which I don't understand why Google/Apple don't implement into their stock keyboards (like custom auto-correct - this feature goes miles in improving typing; or long pressing for second key symbols).

Best way to improve typing experience on SGS2 / ICS?

I recently got a new Galaxy S2 and though I have no complaints about its speed, the on screen keyboard is atrocious. I'm running the AOKP ICS ROM right now and using what I assume is the stock ICS keyboard.
Coming from an OG Droid, my main complaint is that the on screen keyboard doesn't always follow the text while typing, I find myself often typing off screen and I can't pinch and zoom out with the keyboard open, it's very frustrating. Also, the selection marker seems to jump around making it very difficult to get to a word I made a typo in due to it being off screen when I typed it. I find it easier sometimes to just backspace my entire sentence than to fight with it. After a google search, this doesn't seem like an uncommon complaint.
Also I'm not a big fan of having to hit the "back" key to pull down the keyboard when there's no done button, as hitting it twice has a chance of eating whatever I'm typing.
What do you guys suggest?
Other than that, I don't much like the cramped viewspace I have when typing, but I suppose nothing can be done about that. It'd be nice to have a higher ppi display, with pinch and zoom with the keyboard open.
On another forum some suggested downloading a paid keyboard that allows the addition of arrow keys, but I'm reluctant to make the keyboard take up even more space onscreen.
P.S. I'm trying to get my post count up so I can post some bugs in the development section. Thanks all!

SwiftKey X is the best keyboard I've ever downloaded. It has a stinking awesome auto correct and several themes to choose from to match your phone interface. It's even got some neat gesture shortcuts and you can adjust the size of the keyboard on the screen from small, to medium, to large (which sounds like something you'd like) in both portrait and landscape mode. It has a 30 day free trial and after that the auto correct stops working, but the app is only 50 cents. I'd super highly recommend it, that's what I'm using with my galaxy s2. That and a crap ton of swype Good luck, hope I helped

HTC Keyboard

I actually like the included keyboard but I wish it had a little more customization for it. My first gripe is that if you type letter for letter and it begins to predict a word if you select a word it doesn't auto-space after it and there is no option to enable this, but if you slide from letter to letter and pick the predicted word it will auto-space. I guess my other gripe is that Im not quite sure what those arrow keys are for or even why they are needed.

I tried it out for a little while then installed swiftkey. I like it much better.

Try the stock ics keyboard. Its really nice and smooth.

I wish I could get rid of the arrows on the stock. Hate then so bad. Right now I am using Go Keyboard. Seems pretty sweet so far. I might also try swift key later on too since everyone seems to be all about it

Using the latest Swype beta and it's working great.
Thank god. Coming from the Note - swype was all messed up there

History from the old implementation on older versions (WM). Missed it when I went to the Sammy phones, though the ICS stock version is not too bad. My biggest gripe with ICS is that sometimes, gets really hard to use the on-screen click thingy to locate/edit a mistake or to select a block of text. I love the HTC arrow keys for allowing that, but no excuse for taking an entire row (remember the arrows being more compact on WM).
Being able to add space the end will be good to have.
I think I saw the haptic feedback, etc customization under the Personalize (or Keyboard) settings.

Mostly loving the stock Sense keyboard here even with its minor quibbled. One thing I can't figure out -- Is there a quick way to type a "?" (question mark) without holding the "k" for a second or two? I loved on the ICS keyboard how common punctuation would come up in the predictive text line once you've completed a word... I'd always pull the "?" from there.

Why Swype is better, way better, than SwiftKey

Since i stepped into Android, by one thing i was amazed and it was/is Swype. Then other keyboards appeared and SwiftKey X was the most popular among them. So i used it for two weeks to see how good and efficient it is then went back to Swype. Why? The video proves why.
I am on 102°F while i was typing (in fact that's the reason why i have done this video as i had nothing to do, lol), so take 30-45 seconds out from both the video.
I would like to find a more simpler article as base, but couldn't find any by simple Googling.
Regards.
PS: If already this has been done by some fellow member please pardon me, i haven't searched

I agree with you totally, imho after swype any other keyboard in android makes me sad panda =(

I actually like SwitKey better... but I use Swype. I like being able to type with one hand.
P.S. not sold on the new Swype beta - I love the prediction, but it seems to be a bit of a hog.

I am a FlexT9 man myself..

No offense, but you seem to be pretty slow at typing and I think that's why you are faster with Swype. I think it really comes down to peoples personal typing styles. I am a fast typer but end up making a decent amount of mistakes especially with the stock HTC keyboard. I recently started using the trace function on the stock keyboard on my Evo 3D (custom ICS rom though) which is basically the same thing as Swype. While I did enjoy it more than normal typing and it made me faster, I ended up correcting a lot of errors and inputting new words. I then bought Swiftkey 3 and after setting it up, fell in love. It's just a lot smarter than Swype. It's like it knows what I want to say before I even start typing. Also I love the new cobalt theme they have.
So it really depends on your personal typing styles.

I use the stock HTC keyboard, which has Swype-like "trace input" (basically a blatant clone of Swype, but IMO a nicer looking keyboard; I did install Swype before I found the option to enable trace input) and I think it is absolutely fantastic. However, on my Blackberry Playbook, the built in (and non-changeable ) keyboard is made by SwiftKey, and is apparently very similar to the Android version, only themed differently. I have to say it is quite excellent, it can often predict the next word I want to use, preventing me even having to type some words at all, and at times only makes me type the first letter or two before it guesses. Main reason I haven't tried it on Android is because it costs, and I am perfectly happy with the HTC keyboard, which is free.
If there was some amalgamation between Swype and SwiftKey, with the swyping of Swype and the prediction of SwiftKey, it would undoubtedly be my keyboard of choice.

Stock ICS keyboard FTW!

I prefer the one handed operation of Swype 3.25. Swiftkey has been ruined. I used to use it and its pumpkin theme because it disabled the keypress pop up. Now it's in every theme. And there is still no dedicated enter key.
The new Swype sucks, after nuance bought them out. I hate the mandatory Swype connect process that runs, the large footprint, etc.. 3.25 is probably the last acceptable version. If anyone has apk's of builds produced after 3.25, please post them as I'd love to try them out.
Also if anyone has a stock ics keyboard apk that was pulled from a ROM, not the market version, post that too please.

I'm not sure if it's still on sale, I can't see because I've already bought it, but Swiftkey 3 was on sale for $1.99 for a week. Again, not sure if that week is still going on but I bought it because of the half off sale.

I did notice that and consider it, but to be honest, the screen on my phone is a bit cramped for "proper" typing, so I decided to stick with my HTC trace input. I'd probably only go for SwiftKey if it added a swype/trace like function.

I have used lots of keyboards of every type and I always come back to Swype. I like Swiftkey's prediction but I've had tough life with predictions. And anyway, my main concern is the speed which Swype most definitely provides me. It depends on your typing habits and screen size, of course.

I always liked ai type until I tried the SwiftKey beta. My only wish is that SwiftKey would do voice to text like Ai type does using the ics real time transcription rather than the old one. I never liked swype mainly because I drive for a living so my use case makes it tough to swype and drive. Much easier to peck but even easier still to speak.

I used swype quite a lot but found it would remember everything I'd typed. So it would end up changing the correct word to a captcha I'd typed in months ago. Now I use SwiftKey to get round that problem

The fact is that, with SwiftKey, you can tipe without watching the screen. If you use Swipe, you must watch it! Or I'm wrong?

Nah, its just getting used to your phone... Somehow I Swype blindly, just a matter of time for everyone.

Swype is fast, but I still have a phone with a hardware keyboard. I've never been able to quite get up to the same speed that I achieve with it using swype.

Swype is finally released on Play Store

I don't how many Swype lovers are here, but I certainly am, and I can't live a day without it. And the great news is its finally here on our Play Store, out of its forever Beta status! Hooray. Get yours today. For 1$ it's a steal imo.

I saw the news! Question though, does that mean they're going to kill my Swype beta soon?
$1 is pretty cheap but there are some frustrating issues I wish would have been solved before they pushed this out. I see no changes between the $1 app and the latest Beta version which is free.
Edit: Apparently buying the paid app allows you to disable the Dragon speech tool! They should really publicize this more (although I suspect they're getting paid by Dragon to include it so I can see why they wouldn't want to).

And a link to the trial for those who would like to test it prior to buying it:

Wonder how it fares vs Swiftkey Flow. I bought Swiftkey once at the end of v2, got upgraded to v3 then to Flow for 0$. Was never disappointed. Best prediction I've ever seen in a keyboard, although it's been a while since I last tested Swype.

Well this is not based on prediction. No offense, but Flow is not comparable with Swype, not yet. Swyping results are much more accurate, more fast, that you'll hardly need to use the predictions or manually select words. Those who use Swype, knows how is it and how much we love it.

Good news!! IMO this is the more accurate keyboard for Android.

I have the beta and would like to support the full version, but is there a way to transfer your dictionary? I don't want to enter from scratch again.

Does it still stuck? Last I checked, the beta was slow to start and and its guesses for swiped words seemed more like a random word generator
I decided to download the keyboard and test for myself.do far the only thing I see wrong is the typos you see here, the lack of spacing after the period.
Another issue is that on my Note 2, the keyboard appears massive. It's only slightly bigger than SwiftKey, but it still looks oversized. Have a look.

I have been using Swiftkey for a while and using its flow through space feature. When it works it's really satisfying, but the truth is it works for less than 50% of the time only especially when I try to flow through more than 3 words. I cannot rely on something that I can't guarantee working reliably.
I bought Swype this morning and it is so much better in terms of pure text input. ALOT smooth and faster.

I can't say I swipe more than 1 word at a time, I find it more effective that way. I got the Swype trial and I'll test it to see how I like it. So far it seems smooth, but I only used it once for a short time.
I wish it was like Swiftkey though, I use more than 1 language and I dislike switching from one to another all the time for different contacts or even in the same convo.

I want French (AZERTY) but doesn't work ...
I'll keep Swiftkey ... It's still the best for me

Yeah, forgot about that "feature". Thankfully, the popup hints reminded me. Which brings me to the next point which is that you can no longer disable them, as far as I can tell
