A friend recently switched from Android and got the 1520 and loves it. Between that and my employer using Office 365 (seen the great integration on several co-workers' phones), I tried out the 1520 at AT&T. Love it, but one problem: the suggestions at the top of the keyboard were very slow to pop up when typing. At least 0.5-1 second. Probably every text I make has 2-3 corrections I need to make, so this would be unacceptable for me. I tried looking in settings, but couldn't find a way to change it.
I'll be buying unlocked on eBay to use with Straight Talk. With no easy returns, I'd need to know if it works ahead of time. We just switched wife from Galaxy Nexus/Verizon to Nexus 5 (she didn't even want to make that switch, so she wouldn't switch to WP with me). I'm getting tired of Android and would like to make the switch, but the N5 doesn't have this keyboard issue, either with stock or Swiftkey. I found this thread, which seems to indicate that prediction speed isn't customizable, and that it may be I simply type too fast, and WP is more for deliberate/medium-speed typists. Is that still the case?
