is that similar to shape write? i have that and it's either really on or forms words that are completely off. i usually just type everything manually so maybe i just never got used to using it.

Man, I find the virtual keyboard on the Droid to be pretty awesome...maybe I'm just crazy.

I dunno what shape write is, but since I downloaded swype, texting has gotten a lot better.

I'm running the current beta.

The latest update with the voice text works really well. Very useful while driving

I have had a Motorola Droid since early December and so far it has been better than any other smartphone I have ever used. No complaints here, I would recommend this phone to anyone. This coming from an apple user.

I then got the Moto Droid. The reason I didnt get it in the first place because I thought it was too bulky and didnt know how much I would actually use the keyboard. Now that I have it, I dont really notice the weight or size of it... I guess Im just use to it now. As for the keyboard, I guess I have small fingers so I love it! I can definitely see that how men with bigger hands wouldnt be able to use it though. The Android system is awesome. Just soo easy to go from apps to calls, to texts.... I guess its just all around practical.

I debated switching to AT&T to get the iphone, but now Im glad I didnt... love my Moto Droid!

looks like you and this guy have the same problem

Yeah this an another weird thing about Android phones, The predictive or spell checker only works on the virtual keyboard it does not work at all on the physical keyboard. Not sure why it works this way but it does.

I can say the physical Keyboard on the CLIQ is better than the Droid, the feel is better and the slider is smoother.
