Found the beta version, and while it has some bugs that the WinMo version didn’t have (sometimes the keyboard shows Alpha, but think’s it’s in Symbol version), it’s still by far better than the Droid stock keyboard, and I’m faster than any keyboard I’ve had on a phone, which includes the Droid physical, the old Motorola Q (with a very spacious keyboard), and some various Palm phones.

It’s still in Beta, so it has some bugs, but it’s an awesome keyboard.

I’m always surprised in this day and age when people say they don’t know where keys are on the keyboard and therefore can’t type unless they can see all the keys but at least with Swype you don’t have to hit each letter exactly. As long as you are close enough, Swype will give you its best guess and its best guess is usually a really, really good one. I’ve even typed words where I went totally wrong mid-word and tried to correct myself and it STILL got the right word.

I demonstrated Swype to a few people who were on the fence about getting a Droid and once they tried the Swype keyboard they were sold.

1. That we don’t still want T-9

2. That we don’t like virtual and want a better-than-the-Droid slider keyboard
