    Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is there no "wobble" feedback thingy with this keyboard?

    I downloaded the keyboard ok and it's selected in the keyboard settings but I can't see any difference to the previous keyboard- either it's appearance or features. ??:confused:

    You need to do this.

    If you have installed it then here's what you need to do:
    1. Settings->Language & Keyboard->Gingerbread Keyboard (Enable it - checkbox).
    2. Now when you go to compose new messages, press and hold in the empty space where it says 'Tap to compose'. That will give you the Input method. Select Gingerbread keyboard and you are ready to use it.

    Thanks for the link.

    Just added this to my desire on 2.2. It's a lovely keyboard. Much better than stock froyo/HTC keyboard. I like the punctuation bar along the top of the keyboard. The keyboard is really, really close to iPhone now and is, in some aspects, better. Make the phone much more agreeable.

    I've been using my desire in preference to my iPhone 4 all weekend and loving the speed of the thing. It's insane. The colours on the S-LCD looks awesome too. (I dont remember my previous AOLED desire bin as nice or as crisp). I still think the Market is a bit weak, the perfect solution for me is one of each! Lol.

    It would be great if they had a smilie button like the Swifkey keyboard does.

    It does, the bottom left button puts in a smiley and if held brings up a pop-up with all the smilies

    Ehhhhh, unless I'm doing something very wrong, I do not have that button. Bottom left brings up the numbers and characters keyboard. Yes you can type : - ) but the swiftkey actually gives you a list of smilies: http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/swiftkey-new-beta.png

    ehhh.. not to sure what is happening here but my phone has that button using the gingerbread apk in OP! one tap gives : - ) and a hold brings up a pop up with 15 smilies. I'm on stock android 2.2.1 on nexus one, not sure if that will make a difference?

    mine looks like this: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS8DcJByrrIgwaby92Z2uGc0aM_XMEBWv1pXYlNauRWcV4UME8D

    the smilie changes to a go button when in search or the browser bar.
