I just downloaded the swype beta today and I'm wondering what settings are you guys using. I watched the video of swype and my swype doesn't behave the same. When I type a word then move over to the spacebar then move to type another word it doesn't recognize the space. I need to swype a word, then lift off the touchscreen so it inputs the word then use a space then swype the next word. Its pretty slow and I'm wondering why space doesn't work when using it in the same motions as a swiped word
 
You can have Swype do auto space after each word. Go to Language & Keyboard >>Swype (Swype Setting)>>Check Auto-Spacing.

I'm liking Swype more and more. I do wish it has arrow keys though, unless I missed it somewhere :)
You did miss it ;)

Swype from the swype button (lower left) right over to the SYM button. You'll access the direction-key and tools panel.

To get to Swype's arrow keys, swipe from the lower left key (the one with the white-circled "i" on it) to the key to its immediate right (the one with "SYM" on it). You will get a full cursor control keyboard.

How did you download it? Is the beta back open? I just checked and still says closed :(
