I got an email from the folks at Swype about their new updated Beta. Anyone have this yet? I think mine functions pretty well now so I don't want to change it. If this is even better though then that would be sweet! I love Swype
I signed up for Swype Beta, but have never received any e-mails from Swype and have been forced to use leaks. What is the process for leaking the new Beta so that the rest of us can use it? Is it as simple as doing a back-up with Astro and posting the .apk?
FYI - This is very much against forum rules. I wouldn't do this if I were you.
Threads and posts which contain links for the purposes of obtaining Swype are illegal. These types of threads/posts will be deleted and infractions will be issued to members posting links to the application.
The distrbution of Swype except from the developers themselves is illegal.
It is against our policy here at Android Forums to allow posts, links or even mentions of how to obtain applications not intended for public use. This includes paid and free.
Android Forums is a strong supporter of the developer community as well as the legal system and we take things of this nature very seriously.
We rely on our members to help police the forums and report threads that have been deemed inappropriate and/or against forum guidelines so please continue to report them!
Nobody was sure when the beta first leaked out, and it wasn't until Swype themselves made a statement on their support site here that the situation was clarified. The statement ends with this paragraph:
P.S. Our lawyer has asked us to remind everyone that Swype does not explicitly or implicitly condone the unauthorized copying and distribution of the Swype software and to inform you that the Swype software is proprietary to Swype, Inc., is the copyrighted work of Swype, Inc., and Swype, Inc. has and always will reserve all of its rights.
At least one other web forum has been contacted by Skype about this, so we don't want them adding AF to their 'hit list'.
Hope this clarifies the matter.
Eris version 2.1
hope someone can assist me
downloaded new version swype from today's email
have "unknown sources" checked in applications
when "tap" on installer download of apk file get the following message
"opening files is not supported in this version"
when phone updated from 1.5 to 2.1 I was able to re-install older swype beta when it was lost in the update ( i had saved the original email/link from swype)
any way I can bypass the "opening files" issue??
so want swype back
many thanks for any help

I'm also having this problem, anybody know what to do?I get "Swype Beta Installation Failed" " The Swipe Beta is not avaible for your screen size" Anyone know how to get past this?
Any way to know how long this beta trial version is?
Also, how can I save my current version of Swype in case this one expires?
That way I can go back to my current version.
Anyone who needs the download link could probably get the email forwarded to them by someone.. this should not be a violation of forum rules as long as no one posts a direct link.
