I used to swear by Swype... but after using SlideIT, I find it much better and more accurate.
A little off topic, but does anyone know if there are any keyboards that have a 20-key option with predictive text (like the layout on the BB pearl)? Predictive works lots better when it only has to guess from 2 letters per key press instead of 3 (on a T-9 setup), and the layout should be more fat-thumb friendly on the aria's small screen...

I have not - from the screenies on the market, it does not appear to be what I'm looking for, but perhaps it just isn't shown? Anybody actually using it?
Go to the market and check out smart keyboard pro. Check out the fourth image with the two letters per key, is that what you're looking for?

Flext9 has been the best working one for me so far. I've tried a lot of keyboards out.

Since you guys were just talking about FlexT9, I thought I'd let you all know that it is currently the free app of the day on Amazon Appstore. 
+1, my daily keyboard now...Since you guys were just talking about FlexT9, I thought I'd let you all know that it is currently the free app of the day on Amazon Appstore.
Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM.
Well this is annoying. There are only 3 hours left for the free FlexT9 program... and I can't seem to download amazon appstore. Every time I click on the download link sent to my phone it says download unsuccessful. Reading further on the amazon website it states that:
Do you think having liberated 2.2.2 is preventing me from downloading the amazon appstore? (I'm on AT&T aswell, which could also be an issue). Perhaps it is because I am trying to download via 3G?
Never mind, I figured it out! I had to be on wifi to downoad the amazon appstore. I guess AT&T blocks it when using 3G (this should be illegal, AT&T is so lame). After that was sorted out you just have to add your billing info with the app store and it lets you download it. Yay...
You shouldn't have any problem installing the Amazon Appstore on wifi or on 3G. I don't know what problem you were having but it isn't AT&T blocking it.
I don't know, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there. Although I don't have any definitive proof, all evidence leads me to believe that AT&T is what is causing the problem.
I do think it was AT&T blocking the application (amazon appstore) from downloading. Traffic shaping rules in the U.S. do currently allow wireless carriers to block specific protocols and data from being transferred over their networks. For example, bit-torrent traffic and specific text messages can be blocked on the premise that it is for the common good. The text message blocking part is particularly nasty in my eyes, but it is allowed because there is the potential that carriers can block unwanted spam texts from propagating through their networks.
I recall similar things being discussed 6 months ago for otherr applications. The applications in question would not download if you were on the AT&T network and trying to download via 3G. I had to switch over to wifi in order for the download to complete successfully. And yes, 3G was working perfectly fine, I downloaded some other applications via marketplace just to make sure.
Amazon even wrote in their FAQ that you cannot download amazon appstore if you're on the AT&T network, so I think that pretty clearly means that my assumptions were correct. You may say that their comment was directed at non-rooted phones but that too is not true. Their FAQ lists being rooted as one of the prerequisites for installing amazon appstore.
Unless, drumist, you think the application just doesn't like to download via 3G for anyone..?
This post sounded harsher than I ment for it to. I'm not really sure why it turned out that way.

I can guarantee that it isn't at&t blocking it because I have amazon app store on my phone the only reason they say that is it installs as a non market app so your average user won't get it to install on an at&t phone.
