I think the worst part of Jolla phone is keyboard, it's not fast like Android one (I have a Nexus 5 too), I think everyone can agree, at least we should have the chance to use a 3rd party one (from Play Store in the beginning) but system do not support this action. Sorry for my bad english.

I have to disagree. The Android keyboard is not better but the Swype keyboard is.
I have to agree that the Swype keyboard is not suitable in SOME cases like for example in the terminal or browser address bar, but 90% of the time I used text input on the N9 I used Swype to do it. I still think the Android default keyboard is not better than the Jolla's.

I use Sailfish and Andoird apps on my Jolla. I do much less type errors on the Android keyboard. I didn't discover why, but there must be a way to improve the Sailfish keyboard

i'd love a half-qwerty keyboard like touchpal on android. it's not about swiping but about the larger keys you have then. i use this for years and to me typing speed and accurrency are unmatched.

I like the SailfishOS default keyboard and I have used a lot many different touch android keyboards. The split keyboard with the suggestions in between is slick. I just dont understand why nobody thought about it before. I think swipe would be interesting but just improving suggestion accuracy would be fine enough for me.

Well, guys, when I wrote the first comment about keyboard was time ago, after some updates KB was better in some things, now it's not bad, I miss some features present in latest advanced keyboards, but the real problem now is the low speed you can write, seems a touch problem, I think, but it's easy to make mistakes, reactivity is low. I don't know if can be an hw problem.

Personally, I was never as efficient when typing on a touchscreen as I was with a classic T9 keyboard like the one on old featurephones, and I'd love something like that in the vertical layout on Sailfish. I don't think there's any prior art (yet) for implementing a custom keyboard layout/behaviour yet, is there?

I have to disagree too. For me it's one of the best Keyboards. I'm using Swiftkey on a Android Device, the Android Keyboard sometimes. But i think the best i've ever used is the Symbian Belle FP2 Keyboard on the Nokia 808. It's the same layout but with some longtap actions and arrows.
And yes, I think the Jolla Keyboard is a bit slow, too :)
