[Q] EVO 3D and Swype

---

Does the EVO 3D have Swype on it? I love Swype and would miss it!

indeed it does

cool cause my wife and I are getting the phone probably next week or whenever Sprint gets ours in and she can't live without swipe.

It does but it's not enabled by default. You have to long press a text field... Choose "Input Method" and select swype keyboard and then you should be good to go!

And unfortunately, the older version of swype is preinstalled, so you can't even install the newer one.

I just tried to uninstall the preinstalled version and it doesn't even look like that's an option. I really want to update it to 3.0

Read the last paragraph. Will require root, though.

The original keyboard included with the 3d also can act like swype and I actually prefer it, just enable it on the setting its called tracing

The trace option isn't working for me. Doesn't matter, I'm use Shapewriter anyway.

Whats the big difference between shape writer and swipe?
