I was actually really enjoy writing with Swype, except that stupid suggestion pop-up box was so annoying I actually switched to stock keyboard for a while. I cycled through a few trial keyboards, and eventually landed on swiftkey X. The text prediction is so amazing I happily ponied up when they came out of beta. It's great for txts, but trying to pound out an email on it is still painful; I miss the physical keyboard from my G1. I've switched back to swype a couple of times, but the suggestion ui is so horrible I can't keep it.
I'll go give the new swype a try though, and report back...
