As little as I know, I do know that it does not come preinstalled.

Holy junk. This keyboard is amazing!! I cant stopusing this ust cause i wanna keep using it as much as possible. I guess my only complaint oss that I think I like the way the default keyboard predicts text better for those times I feel like tapping instead of using the swype feature. This takes some adjustment period but our is awesome!

Wow. I was skeptical of Swype at first but I just installed it and its pretty awesome. Crazy how it knows what you want to type most the time, even if your finger goes over 5-6 other letters in the trace.

Does this app technically void our warranty?

and what am I doing wrong it doesn't seem to be working for me even though I selected it on the language and kb settings menu

Okay....now I've changed the input method, but it gave me an error saying the package i installed does not match the screen size of this device......apparently i need to find another link haha

AppBrain acts as a market sync utility, not an illegal distribution outlet for applications. Links to AppBrain are fine!

Hate numbers ... I have to stop and hold down the key for the number, and then it pops up with the suggestion box. Yes, I meant to type 1, just put it in the message!

just found a quick way to input numbers. Tap the bottom left blue swype symbol and then drag to the “5/F"key and the numbers keys come up and it's alot faster than the way you mentioned.
