I keep hearing people say Swype and for the life of me I have tried it, but it just seems to make top many mistakes

Lol. What keyboard are you using? If you typed that with Swype (timely typo), then maybe try to adjust the sensitivity and maybe checkout the tutorial. I was having issues too until I played around with it. Now it's my go to keyboard. Good luck

I used to use Better Keyboard before it was taken off the Market, but now I use ICS keyboard previously mentioned. If I ever used landscape to type, I'd grab a thumb keyboard.

I use Swype and I have a terrible time going back to any keyboard that doesn't have some sort of swiping interaction.

I have pretty large hands and I can reach all the way across the screen with my thumb, so I can hold and use the keyboard with the same hand. I don't think I'd be able to do that without a swiping keyboard.

I use swiftkey tablet X but there is one thing that annoys me to not end. The little area to the left of the "a" I seem to always hit vibrates when you click it but results in no "a".

Swype, but I use it like a standard keyboard (no 'swyping'). I use it because it has a hidden keyboard which makes cursor movement and other editing keys available. I came from a phone that had a mini joystick which made cursor movements around a text box very easy.

If you are wondering, to bring up the hidden keyboard you swype from the swype button to the right to the EN/'World' button.

Quite a few keyboards in the market have hidden cursors. Perfect keyboard and Gingerbread keyboard (by Stephen Lin I think) have hold, slide up space bar to get cursors.

    I have used Thumb Keyboard on my Dell Streak for 2 years. I have been using it on the Samsung Note. On both devices I use the device only in Landscape mode.

    I do have an issue with the Thumb Keyboard. Some times it thinks it is in portrait when the device is in landscape. Check out this pic.

    If set the device to portrait and then back to landscape it goes back to this.

    Swype.
    Sadly though, I have forgotten how to type regular lol. I don't even use my S-Pen much because it is still faster for me to Swype then write with the pen.

    Same here. I use SlideIT keyboard which has swype capabilities. It works great!
