Where have you been all my life? This is soooo much better than the stock android keyboard!

I'm a SwiftKey person. Tried a few others but always ended up back with SwiftKey.

is that the swipey one?

It can be, but I don't swipe.

Well, I haven't tried swiftkey, but I like h-k because you can open it on demand, and it has all the keys so you can do stuff like ctrl-c-p. It also seems way faster to open than the stock kb. I dunno if it would be so good on anything smaller than a tablet though.

Use it on current and previous mobile - makes the lack of a real keyboard slightly less unbearable.

Still desperate for a modern android phone with a physical keyboard?

I've pretty much resigned myself to accepting that the relevant people are too fucking stupid for it to have much chance of happening.

Worse is that I don't even have the chance of punching Steve Jobs in the face to at least partially make up for it. :L

Did he get cremated/blasted into space? If not, there's still a chance.

Punching a dead person is as unfulfilling as using an Apple keyboard.

I still think the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is the best designed phone I have owned. Even though it didn't have the number row you wanted too. And it ran windows mobile.

Yeah, there were a couple of other four-row ones that were ok in other aspects. There were times I considered buying inferior products just to contribute towards demand; doubt it would have made an impact but still kinda wish I'd done so.

Might have to try it on my cheap-ass phone then.

How about this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/06/turing-monolith-chaconne-because-cadenza-was-too-weak/

Although you'll have to wait til 2018 if it does actually get released. Seems a bit crazy though, 3 CPUs, 18GB of RAM, 768GB storage, and a hydrogen fuel cell-equipped battery.

My favourite is Smart Keyboard Pro. I tried a lot out when I got my last Android phone, and despite the high feedback, I never liked SwiftKey due to the developer's insistence with certain features that "We're right and you're wrong". Hence no way to turn off that annoying click and swipe for certain punctuation marks, and there was another dumb default option that annoyed me too that couldn't be changed (can't remember what it was now).

Hrm...

> "a program by TRI to integrate artificial intelligence into smartphones."

I trust nobody and nothing that tries to be smarter than me without supplying source code.

I don't think I'd trust a phone with specs like that.

I rather enjoyed the 'tags' on the bottom of that article
