Swype beta just expired.

---

This is getting very annoying, anyone have this problem just now??

Yeah, well they told us it would expire a couple weeks ago and made the latest beta available for download.

Yep it sucks. I had to buy Ultra-Keyboard as a replacement and while it has more options I just don't like it as much. Looking forward to when Swype is released.

agree, any idea when they are going to release it officially to the market???
i simply cannot function/sms effective using the stock keyboard.

Yes its very annoying, had a hacked version and worked fine. Did enroll in beta, and it stops working now and then. uninstall and down load again from swype installer

Same here with the on again off again swype ****. Got annoyed and bought the swiftkey kb when it was released from beta. I have to admit, being an avid swype user for a good 2 months, trying multi-touch kb's and such, I have to admit I personally like swiftkey a bit better. Seems to be better to predict words better when typing.

kpjimmy, how long did it take for you to get use to SwiftKey? I've tried it for a little bit like a text or two and found that I still prefer Swype. Then again I'm not a big fan of using the word predict. No idea why it should make my life more simple.

Good thing I signed up for the Swype Beta earlier so I keep getting up dates. I can't imagine not using it. I know some people using SlideIT and Shapewriter since they didn't get on the Swype Beta in time. They seem to like it.

I've gotten used to Ultra KB after swype. I'll wait for the official release until then.

Well personally, when I type, I mistype some of the times and when that happens, instead of erasing/correcting by backspacing my mistakes, the swiftkey app predicts the words I would most use in my sentence. I admit, I am not a frequent texter but I do use the kb to type in passwords (of course do not predict), but the userID's I use are remembered, which is a plus for me.

Really it is what you are used to and comfortable with. It took me only about 3 days to get used to it and for a buck I think it was well worth the money. Dont get me wrong, swype is cool, even my wife likes it and she's no teckkie. LOL. For me swype got old when I was using it lately and to me, loses the sense of touch-typing and at times, I forget what the heck I was intending to type/swype. Add that to the on again off again swype which bugged the **** out of me to go out and find a kb that actually worked. I even liked the multi type kb that eVil has in his roms lol.

I'm about over Swype. The new version's word guessing feature is so screwed up, I end up having to correctly probably 80% of the words I type on it. Swype has gone from a pleasurable experience to a frustrating experience. Boo.
