I hate this stock keyboard from Sprint in the 6.5 rom, I text without the keyboard being open and there is no space key. Can anyone recomend a good keyboard?

there used to be thread in the software forum i think with tons of keyboards in it to chose from... but finger keyboard, touch (ez)input work pretty straight.. everyone has different likes/dislikes though

I'm a little confused i've used all the on screen keyboards on the 6.5 rom and they all have a space key where the 0 key is and the qwerty board has a space key, but swype is a good program i know that it's floating around in a few threads.

When I go to respond to a text, I have the screen as if I was entering a url. With the .com key where the space bar should be.

Maybe something you installed is messing with the soft keyboards i just tried replicating your problem and i can't get them not to show the spacebar, unless i click on the url address in opera like you stated.

This is what I use, Here is a picture to help you decide if you want to try it. I dont hate the display keyboard but I do wish it was bigger. I use this mod keyboard becuase it adds some size to the one we already have. I find it actually helps speed up the process on the 2.5 roms, but thats only my opinion.

The second cab I added also helps swype by doing the same thing, adding some additional property to the keys. Hope this helps
