Wink Physical Keyboard and swiftkey text prediction, an awesome combination

You know, using swiftkey as the default input and slide out the keyboard, the annoying useless blue box got replaced with a white text prediction board. It works the same as the virtual one but of course since we are using physical keyboard, our speed will increase and augmented by the text prediction of swift key, the speed will increase even further.

And by the way, swiftkey prediction can predict your next words very accurately and for me, it is the best text prediction ever. Search the market for swiftkey and try it yourself.

+1 for Swiftkey!
the best text prediction for me too!

*one thing i noticed tho when using the physical keyboard,
there's no way to input other symbols...i've to close the keyboard and use the onscreen keyboard to input symbols and/or smileys...

Yeah, that's the one problem. IF we want to add symbol, we would have to revert back to default input. Shame, no one has develop an apps that completely designed for mini pro (AKA, symbol buttons work)

This is the most annoying thing about the phone.. It doesn't even have a % symbol. So frustrating!
