I am finding SlideIt incredibly counterintuitive. I don't know what rules Swype follows in order to decide when a space is warranted, but the current SlideIt settings keep putting them in URLs. I'm also going to have to look up how to not capitalise the first letter of a sentence or a field on an ad hoc basis, as well as how to capitalise the second as well as the first.

Never mind the algorithm for decoding my trace coming up dry from time to time. What's that about? Swype almost never doesn't get my word, even if it's the tenth suggestion. It has never offered me nothing.

Grrrr.

Yeah, Swype is better. I picked up SlideIt when it was free, but Swype is definitely better. However, I still have the thing where it's all in Spanish and I don't know why. I mean, I reset the actual language bit that had gotten set, so it's stopped suggesting Spanish words, but it still wants me to push Sin and wants to know if I want to agregar my new word into the diccionario.

And I still couldn't do without my physical keyboard.

And your phone's actual language is English? Well, I'm sure you'd have noticed if it weren't.

I'm irritated that Android seems to think my language and my location are related. There are plenty of countries that don't have their own language designation--and I think I should have the freedom to act all UK English wherever I am, without it affecting my shopping preferences in any way.

At least with Swype the dictionary and the keyboard can be separated. but I have no idea how to help you out, Liese.

I'm doing decently well without a physical keyboard on the Nexus, considering I don't have Swype yet. But I am going to re-jigger that. And tappy keyboards are just not a viable option for me at this form factor.

Yeah, I'm geek enough I feel like I should be able to work it out, but no luck. It happened during an update, I think. I mean, it's not really a problem, in that, I can read enough Spanish to navigate out of it, but it's still odd.

Hey, do any of you have the Verizon iPhone plan? Now that I've left my company, am thinking of switching to Verizon specifically due to much better coverage at my residence (I will be working out of my home office now) but I don't know about going back to CDMA. I'd love to hear firsthand reports.

That's what I have. What would you like to know?

How is it with the no multi-tasking, for one? And I can research this but I recall when I had Sprint and it was CDMA, it wasn't any good out of the country. Have you traveled out of country with yours? Any frustration with Verizon? Thanks, Cass!

javachik, are you keeping the old phone but company just isn't paying for it anymore? Or did they take the phone back? If you're keeping the old one, you could just get it unlocked and use that one for foreign travels with new SIM cards?

Have not traveled out of country. But I'm pretty sure that's a downside.

How is it with the no multi-tasking, for one?

I'm on wifi so often that I end up multitasking quite a bit. I might notice it more if I commuted on public transpost, maybe?

I've been pretty happy with Verizon. I really do tend to have the best coverage out of cell phones. It's my only phone so that counts. In fact, Crescent City over the summer was the first time in years that I had an issue with a signal and the AT&T phones were worse.

My only nitpick with the iPhone is that, used as a handheld phone, my ear or cheek can activate the touchscreen. But for calls I make, I am on my headset. And everyone suffers through speakerphone which works decently. Given that using my phone as a phone is a low percentage of what I do, it's not a big issue.

Between texting, computers, skype, headsets, etc., I have come to absolutely detest holding something (*anything*) to the side of my face to communicate with someone.
