Yeah, i want to know this too...i had Swype from the market and did a factory reset and now i cant get it back...Whats up?
Swype hasn't been on the market yet because it's still in Beta.

If you were an approved Beta tester, you can just go to their site (Swype | Text Input for Screens), sign in and download the newest version. If you aren't a Beta tester, you can click Register on that same page to sign up to become one.

I registered to become a Beta tester at a time when the page said, "The Swype Beta is CLOSED" (like it does now), but I registered anyway and got approved the next day. Now I don't have to worry about tracking down a pirated copy if something happens to my phone.

But failing all that, here's a recent thread about a modded version that includes a microphone button for easy voice-to-text entry.
