Let's all close our eyes and go back to 2009 so we can feel the thrill of typing our first email on the go.

I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I’d heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would’ve kept them in the market if they’d launched it 5 years earlier.

    Swype is the best method if don’t have individual key feedback IMO. I find it’s generally pretty good at figuring out what I’m trying to say, and in the odd case it doesn’t I’m usually spelling something wrong, or using a word I almost never use. And then, typing individual letters every once in a while isn’t the end of the world.

      Yeah. I genuinely don’t know how universal that type of usage is, but I don’t even consider anything else at this point.

      Well, an actual full size keyboard. But, you know, for a phone.

      Was the best method. Swype has been dead for a while. SwiftKey is an okay substitute.

        I guess I mean the method, not the specific app. Most keyboards have implemented some form of it and they all seem to work kinda the same.

        If you can get a copy of the apk, it still works fine. Might have to jump through some hoops on some Samsung devices though. They started bring dicks about old apps. But they work fine, it’s just getting it installed.
