Swype - Have stopped using it after few days of fun. The prediction is a little off and it gets on your nerves when you are typing an urgent message. Best solution is to just use key board without prediction and type what i want. | |

I can choose to install the stock Android latest version or the MIUI flavored version through the recovery which supports two diff system partitions ![]() coming to jelly bean update, i dont think it is going to provide any major features, but may fix some animation jitters and minor stuff like that. I dont think it is to fight IOS5, which is taking Siri seriously in this new version. Jelly bean might not give us an android equivalent of siri, but something like that might come by dec '12 | |

| ![]() A dealer who has advertised on Quikr promises Galaxy S3 at 33K and 2 Nos at 63K. Called him up and he says they are brand new boxed pieces with bill and Warranty. Planning to go there tomorrow (somewhere in Jayanagar 9th block) and see how genuine the offer is. Wonder what the catch is ??? |

I would advise you to buy it. I've been using it since early April and attest to its quality. And at that price, no question about it. Pick it immediately. |

| ![]() The best keyboard I've ever used - TouchPal. Swiping and Swype gestures in TouchPal simply rocks. :-) |

Its called project butter - Home screen has new feature like dynamic resizing of widgets. - Easy to remove a widget by just throwing it away. - Offline voice input. Use voice to record anything even in airplane mode. - Camera app - the gallery has more features. Easy delete, easy to view pictures. - Notification bar revamped with dynamic expand and shrink. And finally, Google Nexus has a price cut of $50 so now unlocked version is $350 and it will have 4.1 on it. ![]() Can't wait to lay my hands on one.

However, on a 3.3" narrow screen like that of the Ray, I don't find Swype upto it. There just isn't enough real estate to Swype without speeding off the cliff, so to speak. In landscape, its possible, but that mode does not work for me as one can't see the sent messages above, can't access WA emoticons, etc. Swiftkey saves the day for me as it actually makes the portrait mode usable.

| ![]() Vis a vis ICS and Jellybean. There may not be upgrades to Jellybean around any time soon. Seems even today the ICS penetration is only under 10%. Nobody is interested in pushing updates - phone vendors (they are only interested in your next phone), Service Providers (abroad they already have you locked in and care two hoots about what OS you are running).So looks like CM, MIUI and co may be the only way for us. |
