ok, so I installed the trial and tried a different skin, was able to get it looking at least half decent.

I do like the auto correction, much much much better than the default keyboard.

What's weird is that the position of the backspace still bugs me. What's weirder is that it's in the same place on the keyboard as iOS, and that is second nature to me! Maybe it's the larger form factor or something.

Anyway, I'm giving it a good go this time. I'm guessing it'll be a godsend when I get an Android phone.
