Let me know how you like it and if you think it is worth it. I stopped using swype after months of using it and im back on the gingerbread keyboard. I love swype, but have been getting fed up with a few things lately so i wanted to take a break and text normal
Also im trying to get used to typing again because i think there is no possible way to get swype on iOS haha
Preliminarily (I've only been playing a couple hours, here and there) it seems a we bit more accurate for me. I was having issues with VARIOUS words that were like 75/25 WRONG for me. For example, "or" was always,
always either "our" or WEIRD crap like "outre"...?? That is even when I swype AROUND in a down-and-back-up loop to miss some letters. Now, "or" works for me! Also, "before" was always, always "brite" for me...that is better too!
The word choice window was conflicting with Gingerbread's new select-text pop as a problem CONFIRMED by Swype admins themselves (see my post
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...onflict-2-3-gingerbread-copy-paste-popup.html ) but now there is NO "word choice window." Instead there is a HORIZONTAL list of words like many other 3rd party keyboard options. Couple other things regarding capitalization seem helpful as well as how to add and remove words from the custom dictionary. But NO, STILL NO WAY to edit the "stock" Swype dictionary!!
I have some seen some comments that this latest version is "slow" but that observation depends upon how you use Swype. If you are WAITING to SEE the suggested words in what was the "word choice" window and what is now the horizontal list of words, there IS a delay for the suggested words to propagate. However, for me, if you pretty much swype without caring and just do it...which is actually the way that is suggeested by Swype itself...and then worry about any corrections at the end of your text, then the perceived "delay" waiting to see the word choices is a non-issue. But that's my use experience and opinion...
Worth a try again...especially if you have been away from it for awhile. At the moment, I'm NOT downgrading to the 2.5 Swype version.
