I've been using this for over 3 years. It hasn't failed me yet.

The keyboard is fantastic, the best I know for Samsung (the native HTC keyboard is good as well, but Samsung is very bad).
The dictionary download is working (see my question below), I have been using this keyboard for six month now and don't want to miss it (just reinstalled it after resetting my device to factory settings).
One little annoying thing: in the German dictionary the litte but frequent word "für" is missing and for some reason it won't be saved either...

Skins
The keyboard works fine but if I want to download a skin pack, it won't load the page...anyone else with the same problem?
Re: purchase again
If you purchased it through SlideME, you do not have to pay again to download.
You can login to your StorageLocker and re-download your purchased applications in case of a device reset or an application update.
From the SlideME Market (SAM) app installed on your device, go to menu, more and then StorageLocker. Enter your SlideME credentials and you will see the list of all applications you can re-download for no charge.
