Default Two keyboards are better than one.

If you're like me, you want Swype when your in portrait and the moto keyboard when your in landscape. This helpful app does that for you.

Keyboard Manager (root users)
AOSP or go home!

Keyboard Manager was a big motivator for me to root my phone. I love it! I use Swype in portrait and the GB keyboard from the market in landscape.

Give Hacker's Keyboard a try. First of all it's free, and totally customizable. Only keyboard installed on my X2.

I was running Swype in portrait and GB in landscape, but recently GO Keyboard became my top choice for landscape. I like it.
