Wow, I thought HTC and Swype had an on going deal, looks like Sense is taking over

I like Swype, NOT Swype like

Why do you think it will make a difference? I mean there are only so many ways you can "swype" your finger across the screen.

I use and love Swype, but am excited about the HTC version.

And you still have option of downloading Swype.

I always thought stock sense keyboard was much better than swype. Unless you were swyping, the keyboard was next to useless. Hopefully the 'tracing' doesn't hamper your ability type fast on it. I'd be very interested in a revitalized HTC_IME_MOD keyboard.

There are other "swiping" keyboards already available though, like SlideIT. I guess there isn't a patent on swiping?

As I've had a chance to test Trace on the Sensation, I'd just like to say I'm very happy with it. It takes some getting used to, and some words don't predict quite as well as others, but overall it's worth using in my opinion; it speeds up texting a lot.
