First time with an android market based phone. I have been on an iphone for forever. Getting pretty frustrated with their keyboard, it seems very clunky and awkward. Messing up on simple words and whatnot. Is there a new keyboard app or some fix that anyone can recommend for me? I've seen a few people talk about swiftkey? Paid version?

Side question. Going from the convenience of having my music library on my iphone to whatever I have now. How can I make my new phone comparable to what I had before, albeit less space for my music (I would assume at least).


Thanks guys

Well, I have infinite music in my itunes. So, I already own everything I want and more. I just want to be able to put some of it on my newer phone, but highly doubt it's compatible with itunes unless there is some sort of workaround.

i dont use itunes, but i assume there's a way for you to get the mp3 off there? then you can just copy it off itunes on your computer, paste it into a folder on your computer, then paste that into your sd card on your android

I feel you on that man. I've been an iPhone user since 3G/3GS days. I recently just bought a 5s and just withstand water damage and I really had no choice to buy an s3 from a friend for 40 bucks.

Pros
- Free music

Cons
- Keyboard sucks
- Camera quality sucks (its an s3)
- phone is too wide when it comes to typing. I'm always hitting the back button

Other than that, The iPhone 6 should be coming soon :D

I am always confused when I see posts like these, since I rarely mistype things with my galaxy S4. Perhaps my dexterity is above par despite my large hands.

Just drag a s drop your files from the iTunes folder to wherever you want on your phone. No special software required, just Windows Explorer or folder view from your pc :)

As for keyboard, try SwiftKey it's really awesome.

I repeat, all your iTunes music will play no problems on your phone :)
