BlackBerry says the Z10 keyboard is the best virtual keyboard on the planet. I've only been typing on it for a couple of days, but that claim may not be too far off. The proportioning of the keys and the finger detection is top notch, but the predictive text solution is the real breakthrough.

As you type, BB10 will predict the word you're trying to say, like any other smartphone. But the suggestions start popping up all over the keyboard itself, and you can send a word or phrase into the compose box by flicking it up there. It's a different way of typing, but one that could be wildly efficient.
