It's amazing. Windows Phone (for all its faults) came in second best, when I tried it ages and ages ago.
This autocorrect behaviour is the worst thing ever happened to VKBs
Android is absolutely terrible though. Still, with Android L. (https://twitter.com/w00teh/status/538622865067630592).

Phone should not change what I typed, because that forces me to read everything I type.

TAt least with Finnish it often totally changes the meaning of word you were typing, especially when writing with dialect. And just look at all the autocorrection jokes out there...

All times are GMT. The time now is 15:32.
>hope jolla will do that in the near future
Jolla have stated several times pretty categorically that they have neither the time nor the resources (or, it would appear, the will) to do this, suggesting that this was up to a 3rd party to provide this.
And what better 3rd party than the original Swype?
