anyone know how to change the keyboard or maybe recommend a good 3rd party keyboard?

Enjoying my Huawei G300 on Gingerbread but not liking the keyboard

Maybe my failing eye sight but the keys are the size of a bus, but the actually letters on it are positively tiny - i don't need reading glasses usually but i will need some to keep using this keyboard

also for some other reason only known to themselves - they have inverted the std characters with shifted character so std characters are displayed above the shifted characters

not sure who couldn't possibly sat back and thought they made a great keyboard - but my guess is they are now safely locked up in a lunatic asylum

HeHe..the dreaded 'Chinese' keyboard on the G300. Rest easy, it's very easily remedied on play store. Loads of great keyboards for free on there. I went for Go Keyboard, very clear and easy to read letters/numbers etc.

Swipe is worth trying.

Thanks for the suggestions - I've gone with the Go keyboard which seems much better

I did notice that if you press 'voice/speak' button it refers you to install the GO version rather than the built-in, maybe not surprisingly -

Is it easy to open the built-in voice recognition or switch keyboards?

Forget that, the standard Mike has just appeared from the blue as one of the keys

Swype works a treat on the g300. Well recommended.
