Just go on google and search "Swype for HVGA Devices - *updated*"

Download the APK and transfer it to the SDCARD.
Install it via Astro File Manager.
Go into Settings >> Locale and Text and check off Swype.
if you are using TWlauncher (Settings>>Language and Keypad and check off Swype)
Also make sure to disable Audio Settings for the Swype keyboard so it doesn't Force Close.
Then open up somewhere to type, LONG PRESS, choose input method and pick Swype.
And then enjoy the cool new keyboard.
Wow--thanks so much for this. I just downloaded it and installed it exactly as you said, and I can't even tell you how much ass it kicks. I had been using better keyboard, and it's fine, good for what it is. But I'm a pretty big guy with thick fingers, and this tiny screen, even in landscape mode, was kinda killing me. I tried shapewriter, but it was more trouble than it was worth. Swype's text prediction is incredibly accurate, and at my first try, I had no problem writing out a long email in portrait mode which would have been excruciating otherwise. This is just huge for the usability of this phone
