Handwriting recognition & Cell Phones

    I hate tiny screen keyboards on phones. I miss the handwriting recognition features that I had on my mini PC in the early-mid 2000s. Is there a smart phone that has fully integrated handwriting recognition? It looks like the new samsung galaxy note does it, but it's awfully huge. Do most androids have it now? What are my options?

    Galaxy Notes have but you are right they are crazy large. You could also explore bluetooth keyboard extentions for many phones

    Btw handwriting has to be a phone (hardware) feature. The touch screen technology also matters. Please post back what you find out. Thanks

    You don't have to have handwriting recognition to ditch the inconvenience of tapping on a tiny keyboard. A lot of people I know love Swiftkey. I am a gigantic weirdo and tried spending 6 weeks using nothing but 8pen, and well over a year later I'm still using it.

    Swiftkey came with my phone when i bought it. It is amazing actually. GG give it a shot.

    Nope sorry the one that came with phone was called swype. Similar but not same. Let me try the SwiftKey Trail.

    I looooove Swiftkey. It's way more intuitive than Swype. It's all I use.

    You could also use the voice to text features on your phone. I find they work quite well when I choose to use them.
