Touchpal is definitely nice, i used it for a while on my mogul and tp1. I remember how excited everyone was whenever a new release was pushed out.

True, but unfortunately the last version (4.0) sucks. Just about everyone who had used it for any length of time tried 4.0 for a while & then reverted back to 3.5 (which is what I use). To make matters even worse, the POS 4.0 refused to uninstall & you damn near had to do a hard reset to get rid of the thing so you could revert to 3.5 & that turned a lot of people off (& I don't blame them a bit)

I don't like installing too many SIPs though, so I'm happy with the htc soft kb. Swype is currently on there just cause its a new input style. I don't doubt that you can type faster using touchpal than some of us on hard kbs... but the tp2 hard kb is so damn comfortable that i'd gladly trade some speed for it... if that makes sense. The feel, the spacing, it makes me forget i'm using a phone.


I have Swype also & I really like that too (I didn't install it, it came in the ROM I'm running). I do understand what you're saying about the hardware KB & I agree that it is an awesome KB. Although I use TP 95% of the time, I would not want to give up the hardware one either. If I didn't care about the KB at all I would have an imagio instead of the awesome TP2.
