Any word of custom keyboards?

[Qiyamata]

Love my 521, but the only thing I miss from Android is my Swiftkey 3 keyboard app. Any plans for Microsoft to allow 3rd party developers for keyboard customization?

thrilled to hear you love your Lumia 521
at this time windows phone does not allow custom keyboard , swiftkey is nice keyboard but windows phone have this in-built called word flow , it works very well and will learn as you type more often , it will intelligently predict next word for you , like swiftkey works
it's rumoured the next major update for windows phone 8 , i.e windows phone 8.1 will also get a swipe based keyboard , and all windows phone running windows phone 8 will get the update

Ok, appreciate the info! And yes I have noticed it's been learning how I type which is pretty cool. Although I have bigger fingers and misspell a lot. And I don't like flow or swype. Swiftkey let me adjust the size of the keyboard and was a better experience. Another thing I wish is that the windows keyboard had vibrating feedback. Maybe in a update.

Hopefully , many need vibration in keyboard. This is all up to nokia to release in next firmware update

Swiftkey is amazing. I don't usually bother with changing stock apps or software but it just blows every other keyboard away. Having that on board WP would be huge!
