since RS is slow and no body wants to pay for a membership, i give the direct download link. I can't take credit for making it, but i found it and felt like sharing today. SO here you guys go
http://iq0.org/sites/default/files/signed-swypebeta.apk
as far as installation goes, need to:
1) "Application Settings" to enable unknown sources.
2) get ASTRO file manager (in case you need to go find the actuall data files again).
3) Click the link, get the goods, install the Swype keyboard.
4) After downloading, go to the Locale and Text settings tab and check the Swype functionary.
5) Long press in an 'input text field' (meaning the place where one would insert text for SMS/MMS/email or what have you).
6) enjoy swype! Most of the information i have found on installing and functioning of the program has been from google and this thread.
