I've been using my Nexus 4 for one week now and I obviously love it. I think the feature that impressed me the most is the 'gesture typing', which compensates for my apparent inability to type correctly on a virtual keyboard. And it works surprisingly well in French too.

Love the gesture typing as well, it's really impressive how well it works. I've only been using it in english so far, and feel crippled as soon as I have to write a message in other languages.

Is there any way to quickly toggle between different languages?

If you have multiple languages enabled (as opposed to the default, system-language only), you can just point-hold the space-bar and a language selector will be opened.

You can also enable a language-cycling button which will appear left of the space-bar if you so please.

Both are definitely quick enough for my fancy.

Nice! Didn't know that. That's really handy!
