***It seems a lot of people are interested in [Only registered users can view links. ] for Android, and that is cool. What is not cool is certain people posting links for the software that is not official and asking for donations on stolen software here on the forums. That is a form of warez. Any linking to or asking for the application will result in immediate banning of your account.

Feel free to discuss Swype.***

If you havent checked out the forum on Swype, you really should.

I heard about this a couple of months ago and watched some videos but I wasn't that impressed and i thought it looked too gimickey. But i just downloaded it on the Droid and lemme tell you...its really amazing.

I can type (swype) so much faster then the Android keyboard. I'm not yet sure if i could use it as my default but because it feels so unnatural to swype instead of peck at the keyboard. It's amazing how well the program can guess what your typing even if you barely make an effort at the word.

Very impressed

Yeah I wish that the stock keyboard could correct you as well as swype can.

It's not in the market...it was posted here in the forum earlier, but it appears that the thread has been removed.

I'm not even sure if we are supposed to have swype for the droid.

Someone who has Swype. Can you tell me what happens when you turn the phone to lanscape? Does swype have a landscape version? Or does it go back to the default landscape keyboard?

I wouldn't mind having swype for the vertical keyboard, but I think it would be very odd to use on the landscape screen where you typically use two hands to type.

Yes swype does have a landscape version. Once you start using swype, I don't think you will want to use the regular keyboard even when you have two hands.
