The app came out of public beta recently and offers keyboards for Android phones, Android tablets and Symbian phones. The Android version is available as a free download on the Google Play Store (Phone & Tablet), GetJar Marketplace (Phone & Tablet) and Amazon Appstore while the Symbian version is available for Rs 5 on the Nokia Store.
