Available today. All you need to do is head on over to http://beta.swype.com and you can go ahead and download the software right to your phone. No word on whether it will be in the Market or if this is simply an open beta, but get it while the going is good. It is on limited time offer and to limited users only. GRAB it while is still hot

title is misleading..
it is just beta not officially available..
if it is official = it will be in the market
just like u said yourself..

haha yeah i tot it was on Market too....

try shapewriter on the market..using it now..no complain so far..

swype application is nice but can it support malay??

Give it time to 'learn' your words then it will save it in the dictionary

I'm using shapewriter too.

Since swype beta license is only for 3 months, I'll wait for the official version.

I've also signed up for a Swype beta account. I prefer swyping to touch typing. Swyping seems more accurate than typing.

Still prefer shapewriter than swype. adding words to swype is painful like iphone.

however shapewriter is removing from market permanently on 20 june.

Has anyone compared Shapewriter to Swype? After trying Shapewriter, which was OK, I prefer Touch with phone style keypad.

Been using swype for a day now. I have to say this is pure genius and really awesome. Texting and 'swyping' is awfully fast now!

nice app... thanks for sharing the info no matter its beta or official..

i tested it too..i prefer swype more than shapewriter.. more accurate and fast too.. very nice application!

Some how i still prefer typing instead of swiping as i'll mix in some manglish in sms

My fav virtual keyboard

agree...in potrait mode, i prefer the numberpad type of keypad.. in landscape has no problem cos button will be bigger.. but swype is nice for typing proper eng.

just installed swype yesterday as well and showed it off to my friends .. they were impressed definitely needs some getting used to and have to remember certain swypes to get certain characters .. other than that it's awesome

Got Swype and I think it works more smoothly than Shapewriter. It is very good at guessing which word you want even if your thumb/finger is a bit off the mark. The pop ups take up too much screen space when I am in the middle of something.

I am keeping HTC Touch on standby though. How long is the trial period?
