Anyone use any of these keyboard apps on their Droids? I see that Swype is in closed Beta now, but is it any better than the others?

I've only ever used Swype. Anyone know where I can get the other two to try??
I've tried all 3 (& have them all on my Eris). I started with Swype, however, and found the other 2 as alt's for friends that couldn't do the Swype beta. Once I tried each to figure them out, I liked parts of each, but overall I really liked the Swype experience better! (especially once I realized I could 'swipe' from the Swype key to the 5 to pull up a # pad! That made # entry SO much easier!!!! haha
I have Swype pre-installed on the Nexus One - so I can do comparisons, and it's not even close. SlideIT is quicker, cleaner, more accurate, handles other languages - and uses a much smaller memory footprint.
