Without any tweaks to the keyboard other than turning off XT9 auto correction and spell correction, keyboard lag in the default SMS program is slower than Juicy 5 for me at least.

I might try those reg tweaks that have been posted all around and see if any improvement is there.

In the new TF3D SMS threaded view, texting lag is almost gone, but still, you can't see how many characters you have typed. Also, with the hardware keyboard, you only get one line of input, which is kind of a pain if you are typing a longer message. And finally, with Spell Correction and XT9 correction off, the cursor (you know, the line | that speeds ahead of your typing) shows up twice, once about a letter behind the other. Seems to only happen with the device when you turn off XT9 spell correction.
