Just an FYI for anyone wondering. I was able to install Swype 3 Beta, despite the indication not to.
On their website it indicates that you should not install on any devices that had Swype pre installed.

Any benefit for Swype 3 over what we have on our Epics right now?
Ummmm, not necessarily, it handles things just a bit smoother though, I've been digging swype as of lately because I'm on EE03 so the kb lag throws me off quite a bit, but other than that, not too much of a gain, not too much added to the options menus.

Hmmm well thank you. One thing I'd like is the ability to tap and still have autocorrect... like FlexT9, but FlexT9 won't let you Swype for the ! and ? which REALLY bothers me.

it has this now... kinda like the gb keyboard
I just tried downloading it from an external source (because the Swype beta registration email would not send, no matter how many times I requested a new one) and upon installation, I was bombarded with a never ending barrage of Force Close missiles until I went into System App Remover and killed it and restored my previously uninstalled but backed up stock Swype..

I've used that, but I don't like it as well because it's built-in dictionary is not as good so when you swipe on their app, the right word doesn't always come up.
Edit: Swype 3 is pre-installed on the EF02 GB Leak rom.
Not only I t a beta its higher than the beta ef02s swype is 3.4

What is a good keyboard for X10?
I am using shapewriter right now, it is pretty good, but i am not too used to that way of typing.
Any other good keyboard are ppl using?
HTC IME seems popular.. but I'm using SlideIT.. which I love.
HTC_IME is good. Swype is better!
I can't find swype on the market.
you have to download the .apk from their website. just google swype. also, swype isn't working. I really like the look of the keyboard, but it just doesn't want to work unless I type letter by letter. Shapewriter works fine though, hmm..
yeah I have both the hacked HTC keyboard and Swype, at first I used the HTC one all the time, but now Swype is the only way to go. It's SO fast and "intelligent," seriously everyone should install it and give it a go
anyone can give me a link for downloading HTC_IME, and how can I install it?
the tutorials....hehhehe

Use the motorola droid apk. Works with the x10. That's what I'm using since you can no longer download it on the swype website.

Hi,
Where did you download yours? And what version are you using?
I went to their website but the beta testing is closed due to overwhelming responses.
I googled it and found a site hosting this file, so I downloaded it to test it.
My version is 1.25.16.5612 and I am sure this is not the latest beta version as mine seemed a bit buggy at times. But so far I am enjoying the swype!
i've tried many different keyboards and there isn't one that i fully fully like. currently i'm using swype, my favorite out of the few that i've tried (original android, HTC, and better keyboard)
Here is the thread that contains the APK for anyone interested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660192&page=2
@onuris21
My version is the same as yours. I too had a little problem with the keyboard crashing on me with a select few letter combinations. I was trying to teach it cuss words, and swype crashed when i tried to enter "pu**y". Had to turn off the "Word Prediction" option. I also disabled "Tip Indicator". Since the little tweek, it's been smooth sailing for me. I hope it helps you. Good luck.
Just downloaded swype and its fantastic. I'm amazed at the accuracy.

This is my first time using a phone without a physical keyboard. I'm trying to get the hang of using Swype, but I find that I'm faster using the stock Android keyboard (which actually better than I thought it would be). Does anyone have any tips on using Swype effectively? I've read a bunch of FAQs, etc. but I just must be a slow learner.

Just use it for a solid 1-3 days without switching back to the stock keyboard. Changing some of the settings might help as well.
Practice makes perfect
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
I found that changing the swype settings helped my accuracy.
Settings > Locale and text > Swype Settings > Speed vs Accuracy
I changed the speed vs accuracy slider just a tad to the right so it is about 40% fast response vs error tolerance. It used to be about 20% fast response vs error tolerance.
I tried swype on the G1 and didnt like it that much. I gave it a chance on the vibrant and now i am loving it. I am impress with the prediction. You just have to give it a chance.
When I first heard of Swype I completely hated the idea, never gave it a shot
Got my Vibrant and for once decided to try it out, I'm fairly impressed on how easy and accurate it is once I got past trying to type in each letter, and the text prediction really is pretty good at deciphering my scribbles
IMO swiftkey tops them both. It predicts your current word and suggests your next word.

Faster, yes... but are you actually typing real words?!?
I use better keyboard, its closest to the stock key board I have found. I've used it since my G1 and by far the best keyboard I have found. Its $2.99 but totally worth it, plus there are tons of skins for it.
I use swype in portrait and the stock keyboard if i need to type in landscape. But I can't wait until BlindType is released

Does anyone know of an app that will switch the default keyboard automatically from swype to the android keyboard whenever I am connected on bluetooth? The one thing I like about the android KB is it has the microphone icon and I can use voice to enter searches, text messages, etc. But when I am not in my car, I much prefer the swype KB. Perhaps there is a plugin for Locale that can do this???
Flex T9 keyboard free on Amazon. Combines swype and the gingerbread keyboard. I like it, what do you guys think.
Now if we can get someone to make a dark theme for it we will be set.

lol i could spend all day explaining the joke of a keyboard this is.
spend some time with it for awhile and u will see what i mean.
i rotate between swiftkey and a swype-like awesome keyboard with a prediction list that shows up while u slide ur finger around, its no longer on the market but its called shape writer. its available for download around the internet.
I like it a lot better than swype, which I use for portrait. It seems to be more accurate, and the word choice options are easier to use and less obtrusive.
For landscape, I normally use swiftkey, and I think swiftkey is much better for me. Swiftkey does a better job with correction, capitalization, and punctuation, has the option for space key to accept the main word choice, adds spaces correctly, and shows more of your typing at the top to allow for easier editing.
So, I think I'll program keyboard manager to use this for portrait and swiftkey for landscape.
Why are you guys comparing these virtual keyboards when we have a physical keyboard that's now working 100% with no key skips thanks to mkasick? Am I missing something? For quick texts, I sometimes use Swype myself but I use the physical keyboard for just about everything else and since the fix, it's been terrific.
I just installed Swype and am using it for the first time. I am so impressed that I needed to make a post about it.
The thing is freaking amazing. Seriously good.
Anyone else using it at the mo?
Yep... It's installed out of the box on galaxy s series handsets, but I love it and can barely use a standard keypad anymore so I got the beta for my cm installation..

I don't see it in the market. I see SMS to swipe, Word Swide and Gem Swype.
is it any of these?
Nope, it's a program on public beta. It's preloaded in the Samsung Android phones. Here you can download it: http://swypeinc.com/ After downloading the installer you just have to follow the steps it tells you.
It's mighty awesome, enough that Sony is including a Swype-lookalike (T9) in the 2.3.4 update in October. You can find similar keyboards in the market like SlideIT keyboard.

I am now of the opinion that all swipe-like keyboards are vastly superior by default after using Swype. The difference is as large as texting on the old numeric keypads versus typing on a qwerty keyboard.
Absolutely no way could I go back to a bog standard qwerty touchscreen keypad with no swipe feature !

Anyone tryout DragonGO!, it's not that bad of an Apps.
Swype work for me in ICS Passion V13 without any problem, the bad think is the process of installing this new version, is very tedious.
anyway, another thing i could seen is that swype can retrieve any data swiped in your phone, says, password, credit card number, and other data. I cannot afford that.
I use my regular Keyboard. Swype is a very good keyboard!
