What do you think about having them?
Not sure I understand what you're asking us to poll on? Like stock Key board vs non-stock? Is there an app called Virtual Key? What are you asking ?

probably on screen buttons (like nexus)
The Eclipse ROM has it built in if you wanted to try it for yourself.

Nope, and nope.
I'm a fan of Swiftkey X / justdownloaded Swiftkey Flow. that will be my reason for any keyboard.

Roms offer these virtual keys while you can also disable menu plus back... the question is.. should you? *cue dexter music*
That would decrease the screen real estate :-\

If I had a phone that didn't have the physical and/or capacitive buttons I would love it...Otherwise I have 2 sets of buttons doing the same thing...no dice.
I bought the S III because of the Home button. I like physical buttons. I'm surprised so many people post they like virtual buttons. My gut tells me this is a geek phenomenon and that most regular people would NOT like virtual buttons as much. Buttons are just more discoverable and quicker to use without looking. i.e. the car. And we as power users are a minority as customers. Maybe if S Voice was perfect I guess we wouldn't need physical buttons as much but that'll be a while before it happens. I have a feeling Samsung has studied this plenty and they know what they're doing..
As an example of what I mean by voice replacing buttons... I finally do not miss the camera button... CAPTURE! CHEESE! I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Touch Wiz!!! Lets you take pictures of stuff high above you and you can shout Capture in Jelly bean!!!

Just though I would let every one know about virtual button bar from my experience its by far the best button app replacement. Just like button savior but more options also can activate buttons via light sensor.Check it out @ https://market.android.com/details?id=opotech.virtualbuttonbar

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for $1.60 (minus 30% to Google) for 3000+ lines of handwritten (and tested) code, graphics, icon, supporting docs and user support. Most paid apps on the market are great value for money when you consider the skill needed and time spent on them. Not to mention all the fantastic free apps.
I made this app by the way
This is a thread to list some cool things you like about the phone. Maybe point out a few things that other people didn't know yet.
For me I would have to say that the keyboard is awesome. Also the fact that it already has a printer option built in. Voice recognition on this phone is awesome. And of course face recognition is great too.

I've been a Swype user since the Nexus One, but I have to say that the Trace feature on the HTC keyboard is impressive. It's noticeably quicker to render words after swyping/tracing. Only downside I've noticed is you can't place the cursor on previous words and choose alternate suggestions. Unless I'm missing an option for this.
Ha. And I though it was an improved swype this whole time

Interesting comment about the keyboard. I'll be receiving my HOX today but most reviews say the HTC keyboard is ****. Seeing the entire row of arrows on the bottom leads me to agree (but then again, I haven't used it yet). How does it compare to the stock ICS keyboard? I don't like Swype so I'm sure I won't ever use that feature.

About that. I tried using the face detect to lock my screen and at first i thought to myself, man does this work well.
Then for fun I had my dad look at the camera and guess what, the phone unlocked itself for him too. Now I know we look somewhat alike, but not that close.
Long story short, I wouldn't trust that feature..

My favorite feature is definitely the screen! I can't keep my eyes off of it. I do not like the HTC Sense keyboard and for those of you that also do not like it you can go to the Play Store and download the stock ICS keyboard and it works great on the One X. It is much more similar to the iPhone keyboard that I am used to and is spaced further apart than stock sense keyboard. Also, you get more screen room for viewing while texting or writing messages if you use the stock ICS keyboard.

It works for pictures of you as well... It can't distinguish depth.
Well they're working on a modified face unlock that requires you to blink so picture would be useless.

The apps button on the lower right is the coolest so far for me. Swipe up to close apps and you can open any recent apps...
It takes the only good feature of the Blackburry playbook and adds it to Android. Sorry if this is old for HTC... first one for me.

I personally hate this feature. A dedicated button? I liked long press home. Now I don't have a quick way to search plus I haven't found a way to assign a long press action to any of them.

Once we have root it should be long press home button for recent apps, multitask button as menu button, and long press multitask for search. I miss voice search lol it was easier on an inspire

From what I can tell, by swiping the recent application does not close the application. I have opened several apps and then hit the home button then the recent applications button and swiped them... then opened up the apps again and they are right back where I left them. I think it only deletes the recent app bookmark and not closes the app itself.
Hey folks,
I'm coming from a GSM Evo 3D and on it, we had a kernel with an amazing mod i'm totally missing: we could swipe our fingers from one side of the cap buttons to the other side and that way it would unlock the phone, kinda like a iPhone.
This completely bypassed the power button which i definitely needed because my buttion was shot to hell.
I thought this was only for the 3D but...

angrybirds pls read these...then call your self dumb ..you thanksholic..
On HTC devices the touchscreen driver controls also the touch keys, as they are part of the touchscreen itself....sweep2wake just tracks down the position of the finger on the screen to "virtualize" a sweep on the touchkeys, easy and clean 
On samsung devices the touchkeys have a standalone driver and also a standalone hardware, also during suspend the keys are completely disabled and we cannot handle a wakelock otherwise there should be no deepsleep at all 
Also if we do implement it, any time u push on (as example) menu button and back button one after the other, it will work as sweep2wake

Not for nothing, but I find a lot of apps still are not following Google's suggestion to build in an action bar that includes a menu key so those wasted pixels are getting wasted as we speak anyway. Just look at the XDA app: one row *just* for the stupid menu key.

Getting the One X on Monday, but that's going to be the biggest thing I miss from my Gnex.
I love being able to program the buttons, and change them, theme them, and that they hide when watching a movie of when I use the phones auto rotate, even upside down, the buttons are easily within reach, and not across the entire screen.
To each his own I guess.

Pretty sure Kii has this feature and many more besides https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin

After reading this post I thought I would give this keyboard a try. Really like it. The auto correct seems very good, ability to have number keys above, swipe typing, can change key size. Was a bit expensive for a keyboard, but worth it in my opinion.

SwiftKey allows you to change the long-press time. I have mine at 120 ms and it's bloody quick.
