Default Swype for Android?

Hi Guys,

I hope this isn't a stupid question but I'm looking for the Swype keyboard for our new Android OS. I looked in the android app store and even on the Swype website but can't see any download links. I'm guessing it's available so would anyone have a link/app they can point me in the direction of?

Thanks in advance

I second this. I found a few apk's for the droid etc but most of them are expired beta trials and/or aren't suitable for the screen res.

I an using it on my xperia and love it but its still officially in beta our licensed to phone manufacturer only right now. I an on my phone right now so I can't search for it but you might be able to find the.apk and install it. if I find the link latter I'll post it.

Is Swype working on the HD2 for you guys? I have access to the official beta but it doesn't work for me - the keyboard comes up, but it won't recognize any words.

Another alternative would be the Slideit keyboard. Found on android market. Quite usable imo

since swype has diffrent versions for each kind of screen it will not work for the offical beta unless you download the htc evo version which is working for me just fine here is the link

I've installed this and it seems to be compatible (thanks a lot). I selected Swype as my default keyboard in the android menu but for some reason when I go to type an SMS, the default android keyboard still seems to appear. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
