You have to enable it. When typing and email or text message, log press within the text box (hold it for about 2 secs) and box should appear. Select input method. You should see swype. If you long press the long button on the keyboard (can't remember which one), you will only see the handwriting1 and handwriting2 options.

go to local and text and enable it if it's not enabled. if you dont find it there, update your firmware, 1-3 countries didn't have Swype on their initial FW.
