What do you think is the best keyboard?

Personally I think swype is overrated. Gingerbread seems to be better but still lacking. I'm using smart keyboard now bc it has a free trial. I think I would prefer better keyboard bc of the skin support out there but it has no free trial. What do y'all think?

Smart keyboard pro, keyboard from Gingerbread 2.3, HTC ime mod, then swiftkey imo. Swype is a great concept but it falls short for far too many reasons.

I like the fact that SlideIt predicts the words you use the most.
Although, if you want to use another word, you have to pay attention to what you're doing. Otherwise it will use the word most used automatically. But is works wonders most of the time!

Smartkeyboard pro. I like the skin support much better, I have about 30 skins, and they aren't clogging up my app tray because the skins are just zip files that you put in a folder called "skins". Its also extremely accurate and fast.

HTC_IME.
The original HTC Sense Keyboard is my favorite.
I don't like Swype or the default Android keyboard.
Its been so long since I've used the HTC keyboard I cant even remember what it was like. But...
Have you tried the AOSP Gingerbread keyboard? Its actually a huge improvement over the eclair/froyo Android keyboard. Its up there with Smart Keyboard Pro. The only reason I use Smart Keyboard Pro over the Ginger keyboard is that SK has skins :rolleyes:

Here it is.
Oh wow thank you so much. Other ime's were just crashing on my aria. This one works great.

I have been using swiftkey pro for a few weeks now. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to display correctly in many apps because of the aria's small screen. Sometimes the keyboard covers up the text box, especially in landscape mode.

I'm glad it works for you.
I have a "Frankenstein" setup on my phone, which combines most of the best of each ROM (Liberated and CM7).

I like the look of Sense, but I also like CM7's flexibility and other features (like built-in SIP).

I also like some of the Sense widgets (e.g., Friendstream).

So I loaded up CM7, then LP Sense UI, which makes the phone look like Sense (with widgets, too).

Adding the original keyboard makes the phone easier to use.

Have fun!
