I use the physical potrait mode most of the time for texting while walking/driving but when im just around i really like the landscape. installed swype, it slowed my shit down so hard, and it seemed kinda pointless to me, id rather just type.

For me, Swype 90%, Droid onscreen keyboard 5%, physical keyboard 5%.
The physical keyboard is great for navigating cells in Excel spreadsheets with precision because of the mouse. Since I work with Excel on my Droid, the physical keyboard is essential for me.
Swype is just a blast to use and is the only keyboard I ever use for recreational texting.

Once you get through the learning curve, Swype rocks. In my opinion, Swype is not only faster, it is more accurate and a whole lot more fun than using thumbs.

I use the portrait virtual keyboard the most, because I can do it one handed, and I'm typically typing short messages.
However, for longer messages, the physical keyboard.
Never heard of this swype. *doesn't see it in the market*

Swype, but I do use the physical keyboard fairly enough. Swype doesn't always handle urls, username, and passwords w/ the quickness.
