I tried slideit, maybe even on your suggestion from another thread, and it is almost too accurate. The error tolerance results in way too many unregistered swipes and after a while the time and effort it takes to write something just becomes arduous and annoying. In addition, the suggested words aren't any more accurate than Swype. To each his own I suppose.
Definitely an adjustment, you are right about that. But its advantages over swiftkey and swype overwhelm its downsides for me.
For those who don't check the gaming side: The Retro Engine recode of Sonic CD is up on the Android Market for only 1.99
Typing feels so much better on the ics kb and the custom dictionary with predictive type is awesome.

I do like the ICS keyboard, but I always seem to go back to SwiftKey. It just works better for me. With the ICS keyboard, I get a lot of accidental "spaces" when I'm actually trying to hit a letter on the lower row. SwiftKey also seems to suggest and auto-correct me better.
In the end, though, we should all just be happy that we have this many great options available to us.

i think its a tossup when using two hands, but when using one hand its all about swype.

Funny, all my friends asked me that the same question. I tethered shit out of my wimax connection.... I'm the reason why we have tiered data caps.
This is why swype wins. Text and masturbate at the same time.
And I guess it's good if you're holding a coffee or something.

Thinking about getting the Droid Incredible 2 to replace my outdated LG Vortex that I got earlier this year, but the website that my co-worker told me to use seems a little sketchy. Especially since I'm still under my parent's contract, I'm really hesitant to make the leap to the Inc2.

Wtf, how many gigs a month did you have to do to piss them off?
And Lookout if you haven't lost it already:

Using Spotify/Youtube/other streaming services it's pretty easy to use a couple of GBs per day and I think most phone company have a 5 or 8 GB monthly cap.
Well if you use it like a cable connection and torrent 72pp tv shows on it, it will use up the bandwidth really fast.

Currently, if you have unlimited data still on Verizon they officially say they may start throttling you on a busy tower after 2 GB. Most people who have actually been throttled by Verizon say that they used about 8-9 GB in a month before Verizon came over with an aluminum baseball bat to bash their data connection's speed in.
Verizon's throttling is interesting, as it doesn't occur all the time. If Verizon notices a heavy data user is on a tower which is congested, it will throttle them. If they are on a lightly-used tower at the moment, they'll still get full speed no matter how much data they are sucking down.
If you tether without paying for a tethering plan, all the carriers will ream your asshole if you are also a data hog. Except AT&T, they'll ream your asshole if they merely detect you tried to tether without paying. The other carriers will look the other way as long as you don't tether a lot and don't use too much data. Just so you know.
Wow, US carriers are assholes. How much do they charge for .00005 kb text messages?
I'm so glad I'm on an unlimited plan - if I had been paying the regular fee of 16 NOK (~2$) per MB my last invoice would have been for $8 000... D:

Well I'd expect sprint to take a little longer considering they're content letting you tether through usb. Plus they're the only one still offering unlimited.

I once used 110 GB in a month on my HSDPA connection just to see when my provider would actually start throttling me (they have a policy that they may throttle you after 10GB). They throttled me to 1 Mbps for the entire next month.
Man I wish I got 1 Mbps consistently around here.They throttled me to 1 Mbps for the entire next month.
Usually the highest I see is 700 kbps.
Crossing 1Mbps is a miracle.

Euro carriers rock.
So does unlimited LTE :3
That's a step up for Android users who don't even buy apps!

$5? Jeez. I don't like this trend of making HD versions more expensive. It seems totally arbitrary not correlating with either the quality of the game or the cost of development.

The screen on my HTC Magic shattered a week or so ago so I'm upgrading to an Sony X10 from a dude on craigslist this afternoon. Still holding out for a "perfect" phone (720p screen, microSD slot and 8MP+ camera) before I spend too much on anything.

I tethered about 60 gigs during my last billing cycle and not a peep came from Verizon.
I was setting up my Google TV, get an update immediately when turning it on, downloads and applies the (HC I assume) update. Then I got to the page where you authorize Logitech to key log you and rape your data, but I keep getting a network connection failure. Awesome right?
The whole time I'm already signed into my Google account (because there really is not network connection failure) and I can see notifications in the bottom like "Updates Available".
Thanks.

the reason i hated swype was because i couldn't hand it to someone. If you weren't swyping the keyboard was horrible.
The Galaxy Note is coming to ATT w/ LTE:

i have an S2 and I'm fiending for a galaxy nexus. but the gs2 actually has mostly better hardware. i'd say go for it if you can wait for ICS, I love mine. (i watch secret garden and RM on it lol)
No. You'll be stuck on EDGE.
I'll be rooting and putting custom roms on it, so I'm sure the wait wont be THAT long for ICS. Also the Nexus is way out of my price range, so my option is either stick with my HD2 and slightly busted screen, or upgrade to the S2 and sell my HD2.
Not an issue, I don't have any data and don't plan on getting any. The only issue is if I am still on Tmobile when I do eventually get some data going. Although hopefully the merger goes through, or I can just sell the phone and probably still come out even. Just wondering if 300 is worth it for a refurb.
Though, how bad could a refurb be? Phone is pretty new...
*smh*
Lol, I honestly don't know much about the business politics. All I know is that I need it to go through if I want to use my phone with 3G or 4G speeds in the distant future.
