ok i fugured out a workaround for swype.. apearently you can now get the beta swype 3.0 or whatever it is right from swype, you just register your email and they send you the beta directly to your phone, but it will not install beacuse gingerbread has it built into it, so i downloaded bloatfreezer from the appstore to freeze the factory swype, i then installed the swype beta from swype and bam, i now not only have swype back but the new sype with a slightly new keyboard, and it is awsome!!
but here is the odd thing.. google voice search still does not work, and when i uninstall it, swype goes crazy and force closes and will not work.. then i install google voice search and swype works again, not sure why they are working hand in hand... but i really wish i could figure out voice search... but i do have swype, and a new and improved swype at that!! you should all try it!! seems great!!
