Thanks, @Bacon_Puffs . It's strange, but the little appreciation things like that go a really long way in keeping us all motivated. I'm happy you guys read my review, let alone took the time to "like" it.
Now that I've had the phone for a few weeks, my error rate has calmed down a bit. If I had to take a guess at what was going on, I'd break it out like this:
Different level of screen sensitivity: 40%
Different form factor: 35%
Swiftkey re-learning: 20%
Slightly buggy screen: 5%
The last factor I only noticed because sometimes when I would draw in Snapchat, weird little fragments would offshoot my lines. It would only happen on lines, though, and not on the random screen-taps I kept trying to simulate typing. (Who knew that Snapchat could be used as a debug tool? Hehe.)
I also had a problem with Swiftkey randomly thinking I was trying to swipe mid-word when I was just rapid-typing. I disabled Swype, but still wondered what was causing it. Maybe I'll re-enable and see if it's somehow magically corrected itself, though I think I'll just wait for Lollipop.
I'm going to try to attach screenshots of both my Snapchat anomaly as well as my Swiftkey typing map. The former might be useful to somebody. The latter will let you guys laugh at how poorly calibrated my thumbs are.
