Default [Q] Google voice input on swype?

Can anyone get Google voice input instead of Vlingo when using the built in swype keyboard? Will I have to uninstall Vlingo to get it?

Go to manage applications under Settings, then Go to Vlingo, and then finally click reset defaults.

Checked that, won't work since Vlingo isn't set as a default.

Under Multitouch keyboard settings there's an option for picking between the two, but not on the Swype keyboard settings.

Noticed the same issue too. Dumb question but I assume Vlingo is bloatware? any use for it? Was one program it wouldn't let me remove.

I used it on previous phones that didn't have good speech recognition but with google voice actions vlingo doesn't have as much use

I think the Swype keyboard that is included with the atrix is hard coded to use Vlingo.

This is the kind of OEM BS that makes me wish the Atrix was a pure google device.
