I have no idea why I didn't download this sooner. It rocks. I think maybe it was when my husband and I saw the Omnia commercial on TV and he was like... "I bet your phone can't do that..." so without saying a word, I got on here, downloaded it and texted him "Thanks for the challange."

One thing I find weird about the commercial is that it makes it seem like it is just an Omnia thing and makes no mention of "Swype". Kinda misleading IMO. But I guess that's advertising for ya!

haha thats a win. woulda been better if he had an iphone

THANK YOU! You have found my new happy place! Swype is so amazing! It really did not take me long at all to get the handle of this! Now I am sure I will survive until 2.1 comes out. This alone has made my eris thousands of times more fun to use, not to mention just as much easier! I remember being so jealous of that sprint phone that kept showing this keyboard off. Now I can do the same thing with my lovely eris. This reaffirms the fact that this "bargain" smart phone was truly a smart purchase!

YOU always seem to mess it up

Yea, well, you're a towel.

So is the RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting the only version we (the forum) can get? Or are there new versions out besides 1.16?

Thanks.

Thank you! I've tried several different links and couldn't get any of them working on my phone. This one does.

completed the tutorial, but haven't had time to really play with it. I don't text much, but I do reply to e-mails. I'm going to give it a shot for a couple of days.

Its amazing but takes some time to get use to

It was posted on page 8 of this thread.
Swype-Lite.1.16.12.5228.219.apk

Will that version work for the Moto Droid?

 

[jfp2004]

I was skeptical at first, but the more I use it, the more I like it. I'm not that fast though - I usually pause to make sure that it entered the word that I wanted, so it's not fluid. It's still a hell of a lot faster than using the stock keyboard though!

ya dude. dl, then install. best keyboard out currently.

Well I can't get it to work. I have it selected in the settings for Swype but it doesn't show up on text or email. I have installed it twice. I have no idea what to do.

Long press inside any text field, then click "Input method." Then click "Swype."

Got it going, thanks. My cousin has this on his new MyTouch. It looked really cool. Now that I have been playing with it for a few minutes it seems slower to me than a normal keyboard. Perhaps that will change in the next few days.

Yeah, me too. I found that going through the tutorial helped me. There are quite a few slick features that Swype has. For instance, if you have the curser inside a word you want to change and click the info button (at the bottom left corner) the word window will pop up.

Does none of these work with moto droid? I tried both the links above and they both tell me the screen doesn't fit. So no keyboard pops up.

make sure you uninstall any previous version of swype before installing the next one.

Yes, delete the previous version.

Download Astro file manager if you need help deleting the files.

you should be able to do it right from your phone.

 

[mills23]

Ok I did that and now it is there but when I enable it all it does is blink blue at me and beep when I try to use it. I can press letters to get words but I can't swype.

 

[Caddyman]

did you disable sounds and what not, the install is outlined in the first post here
