SwiftKey goes free (but you have to pay for themes)

Really!? - my experience is the total opposite of yours and I own both Swiftkey and Swype. I found SwiftKey *much* more accurate and this compensates for the limited suggestions. SwiftKey has made KISS an art.
The trick about swyping is: Only swype relatively well known words, if you swype rarely used words or names typing is much faster.

yea, i was surprised to. By the way, i only decided this today! it sounds like swiftkey is much more accurate for only common words. for less common words, it's not. now, apparently, i don't like trying to figure out whether a word is common or not so i type vs. swype. that's too much thinking per sentence for me. that's why i'm leaning towards swype where i can do the same thing for each word.
swype isn't perfect either.
cyberdiva:
I might just add that I don't swype, I just put in the words as I would with a computer keyboard. One great thing about SwiftKey, however, is that often it guesses what I want to say so well that I can write whole sentences without having to type any letters at all, I just keep accepting its suggestions.
When I first started using SwiftKey, I had to switch to its second or third keyboard to access symbols such as ~ < and >, but now even these have been added to the main keyboard. Just about everything I need is on that main keyboard. I love it.
superboyac:
ok...
i don't actually like the press-and-hold feel of swype. damn. no perfect keyboard.

Yeah I know, I bought a lot of them and always came back to SwiftKey in the end. :)
Also you need to remember that at first any self learning keyboard that you have been working with for a while will always have an advantage in accuracy, because it already had a chance to learn your writing style.
