Swype Keyboard for Behold 2

[Mastermind278]

The new version seems to take up 12 megs. Not too happy about that.

Okay so there exists a new version that is only the English Language and removed the Tutorials. Brings down the install size on my BH2 to 3.08MB... a lot better.

This version was edited by Tudsen on Xda-Developers... You can possibly find it by using google and searching "SwypeReference-HVGA-trial-release_eng.1.16.12.5228.219.apk" it will more than likely link to XDA-Developers and on post 136 on Page 14 of the thread, there should be a link (mediafire) to this version.

Im very impressed with swype, have been running it for a few days now. Very accurate! My version says it takes up 4.66MB?

Thanks Mastermind, love the improvements! Swype is genius.

Hey does anyone know if this version is time bombed? The older version that I had been using for about two weeks finally popped up with a message that said "Your trial period is now over."

 

[xblue95]

Ya, my came up "Trial Ended" today also. I was really enjoying swype, I didn't know it was trial ware. Guess I need to figure out how to pay for a copy?

I've always been a physical keyboard type guy, so when I got the BH2 I found the whole virtual keyboard thing was driving me freggin' nuts... Anyway I tried swype and I've got to admit it's an amazing piece of software, it *almost* makes me not miss a real keyboard it's that good.

 

[xblue95]

I one thing I found frustrating with Swype was how the "word prediction" feature covered up the actual text field. I couldn't see what I was typing, specially in messenger. Other than that, excellent!

should just be... start at p and when you get to the period.. swype down to the period.. then c o m

My biggest issue is that as a LONG time blackberry user, the most comfortable (and fastest way for me to type is using both thumbs. I am just having trouble moving over to using a single finger.

Does Swype require hacking/rooting (sorry, new with all this) to install? I don't want to void the phone's warranty or bring it to a point where I can not reset the phone back to factory setting. Thanks

@dctony2010 - no rooting or hacking required - just follow the directions. It is still in Beta, but appears pretty stable to me.

Yeah, I love it - to add words, you can just type them in like on a regular keyboard. Once you space or hit a punctuation mark, it will add it to the dictionary.

I am getting faster with it too I just wished their was a stylus to use then I think I would be set. lol

Mine won't let me switch back to swype. It says trial period is over.

No surprise there - that's why we love it

Question: the Swype instructions/tips say that to remove a word from the dictionary, you double tap to highlight it and then tap the swype key - when I double tap, nothing happens. Am I missing something, or am I an idiot, or is this a known issue? One of the few things that bugs me about swype is when it puts some random sequence of letters in there - I really need to be able to delete stuff from the dictionary. I've tried reinstalling the beta, and I still can't double tap on a word. Thanks in advance!
