So I removed Swype and the install program... then loaded the EVO version... so far everything works. SMS's are working... so why does Swype consider this a device issue?
I uninstalled everything and rebooted the phone and reinstalled Swype and it just gives two beeps when entering anything as before.
so why does Swype consider this a device issue?
Because the problem only shows up with the TB Sense SMS application according to all the posts on the beta site. It works correctly on my TB, zero problems but I don't use the SMS app. Others who have installed Handcent also are not having problems. As SMS belongs to either HTC or Verizon, then that would pretty much point the finger. Eh?
How do you get the EVO version?
I registered for the beta and they sent me a download link. I installed the installer and logged in and downloaded Swype. It didn't offer any choices other than full or something else.
I went through the tutorial and it worked fine and I set the phone down on the desk. The phone rebooted itself. A little later I tried to use Swype and it just gave two beeps when I tried to enter a word. I started the tutorial and when the tutorial showed a word being entered it only beeped twice. I uninstalled everything and rebooted the phone and reinstalled Swype and it just gives two beeps when entering anything as before.

sorry, but keyboards need to work on EVERY application
Really???? Lets see, phone has been out less than two weeks, there are...what...3 gazillion cellphones on the market, and you expect a BETA software to work instantly on every one of them with no problems?
Hardly reasonable. If you had to pay $20 for it I'd agree.
Swype says that their app correctly respects the settings on a text field, and that HTC/Verizon/Whoever has incorrectly set their SMS field to disallow spacing and capitalization. To "fix" it they'd have to intentionally break that logic, which would screw up places you actually want no spacing, like web URLs.
So HTC really does need to correct this.
Do you know where I can download it?
Edit: Nvm, found it.. for people that want it:
