Default swype keyboard

I usually don't join new boards because I come of as a like a noob for the first couple of posts, but this place has become a new regular site I visit as I wait for a 2.1leak downgrader lol.

Anyhow, time for the reason of this post. I have been looking for a swype keyboard for the eris for sometime, and all I have been able to find is the open beta for Droid/nexus sized screens and the closed beta for everyone else. I did search here and only found skins for other phones.

So I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get swype on the Eris, maybe someone is part of the closed beta and want to share the file? or someone knows of an app in the marketplace that I'm just not seeing? Either way, much appreciated, I'm looking for a nice enjoyable stay here

Well I have this installed on my Eris, and I completed the tutorial, and I turned on Swype (check-marked the box), however I don't have the option on turn off the Touch Input keyboard, so when I go into texting, it uses the Touch Input keyboard and not the Swype one. I also have the 2.1 leak verizon 2 installed ...

Here's a ghetto screenshot of my keyboard settings options, it's attached.

I don't have a way to turn off the Touch Input, there's no checkbox or anything ...

Help?

Once swype is checked on that screen. Then you need to go into a text screen and long press on one of the input sections (where you type) when the "select input" screen comes up choose it then choose swype!

Enjoy!

I can't stand my phone without swype... soo much better IMO

I went to this link and when you click on the link for the updated swype download the next page states that the download has been removed do to being overwhelmed. Not sure if I was on the right track or not. Is there a way to get swype on my phone right now? If so, any links for download? Thanks.
