Just curious as to what other people use when texting or posting on various websites. I use Swype which is pretty useless anymore because I spend more time correcting than actually texting. It does get me laughing with some of its word substitutions though.

I text one handed and usually don't have an issue. Always helps to have the other hand free for when watching Kate Upton's videos.

I've tried texting with my penis but only because I enjoy vibrate mode.

I bounce between a few different keyboards on my Android phone:

Swiftkey: The new beta is pretty nice. You can type an entire sentence without hitting the spacebar and it'll do a decent job of deciphering it.
Swype: It works really, really well for about a week or two and then it gets more and more useless.

Recently I've just been using the stock ICS keyboard. It works fine, but I have to type with two hands (something that I don't have to do when I'm using Swype).

there are times when I miss using T9

Swype is terrible. It takes more of an effort to text using it then normal.

I haven't mastered touch screen texting, and the auto correct always fucks me.

I still prefer a physical keyboard, it the iPhone didn't destroy them all I'd have one.

Can turn auto correct off. Might be worth it to give it a shot.

I just talk to Siri and she writes it all for me. Makes me feel loved as well.

Tell Siri to hold your dick. Or to pretend she is Kate Upton for 5 minutes.

No idea what tapatalk is.

I like my physical keyboard (still rockin the EnV 3). However, I'll be getting the iphone. I bought my wife one and play with it all the time. I like the 2 handed keyboard w/o autocorrect.

Dragon Dictation app. Speak into it and it types your text out. Very easy to use while driving. Or skydiving.

Upon the purchase of my iPhone, rethink my texting abilities. The touch screen is not compatable with not looking and texting (for me). My old phone was a flip phone so the buttons were easy.

I'm not sure when the no-texting-while-driving law went into effect, but the iPhone sealed the deal for me.

I have dragon dictation, but put it into a folder. Takes just as much work to get it up and running than to send my five letter texts!
