My HTC Legend is not rooted as Im happy with it as it for the time being so I was told to get a sim card from UK? Does this work?

Looks like we will be screwed again but nothing new if your living in Ireland. The original offer was for approx 99 cent (available up until yesterday) but as we don't get paid apps we couldn't get that offer even though I was an original beta tester for ages. We will have to wait for paid apps to come in and pay full whack of 3.99 or the Swiftkey team say they will get some set up running to allow us to pay via PayPal and download then from their site.
Now don't get me wrong.. I love the swiftkey keyboard and would be willing to pay the fee but just cant understand why we don't get the offer of the 99 cent
So you will just have to wait for either paid-apps or keep checking the Swiftkey website and they should let us know how to get it via PayPal

After reading the thread about Paid apps coming to Ireland, I had the same thought. The trial offer of 99c ends before we get paid apps, well i hope that they do some other deal on their site and Ill purchase from there.

I've downloaded about 20 different apk's and then installed through astro and it still doesn't work. I would gladly pay the 2 or 3 euro at this stage though. Miss it terribly

Anyone got the full app yet, I'm back on the stock HTC keyboard and its driving me nuts :mad: I installed the trial and then went to Settings > Language & Keyboard and selected 'Swiftkey Trial' but its not coming up when I try to use it in messages, internet etc? Haven't uninstalled the beta though so maybe thats conflicting with it?

How does this rate compared to Swype? I'm a bit fed up of their continuous series of beta versions and related complications.

It's pretty nice but I recently dumped them both and stuck with IME mod. Although i'm not sending a huge amount of txts.

I upgraded to the full version a week or more ago for the 99 cent, it seems to work better than the beta did. It really highlights how predictable and boring most of my texts are

My favourite non qwerty keyboard is/was touchpal chinese input (in english )

Long time Swype user - this blows it out of the water. Truly great.

What's the difference between an updated trial version and the full app?

I tried it a long time ago but never gave it a proper go. Have been using it for a few days now and very happy with it. Can't see myself going back to stock keyboard any time soon.

Not much, but the new version has a single, short touch '?', long touch '!' button which is curiously much better, more importantly the '123' button on the bottom left brings up proper number pad style numbers rather than 0-9 along the top - also much better!

I tried this keyboard for four days and didn't like it at all. The prediction is far too annoying.

Surprised a good few of ye's like it!
