There's something to rub in an iphoners face

Wow! Maybe I'll go try out swype then.

 

[bb-gun]

Yeah its so easy to use. im using it right now to type this message.

 

[bomber889]

For some reason I can't find it in the market. What do you type in to search?

 

[bb-gun]

Its not in the market. Its online just type in octo.in/Hg (make sure h is capitalized) into your droids web browser, and download and install it. Then go to settings>language and keyboard>then check swype

i wouldn't get another touchscreen phone without swype at this point unless it had one hell of a physical keyboard that I could easily and quickly type one handed on

 

[bomber889]

Thanks a lot

Can swype be used as a texting application?

 

[gotta have that funk]

its a keyboard, not a program. you just use it to type your text message instead of the stock on screen keyboard..

I've ALWAYS wanted to try Swype... and now I get to USE it! Thanks man! I didn't know it worked for Droid. Thank you!! I was actually considering going into a store to try it out after I saw that video.

Again, THANK YOU!

Consider ShapeWriter, as well. Swype is my favorite but all three have their fans.

I use Swype as my onscreen keyboard, but I just can't seem to get anything close to the speed I can get from the hardware qwerty keyboard.

It's faster than the onscreen qwerty for me though. I just don't know if it's enough for me to consider moving away from having a real keyboard anytime in the near future.

Someone at work mentioned they saw this on and someone else said, hey...he's got it on his phone. I showed off that and the Handcent "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" speech to text capability.
