[Q] Swype?

---

Hi all,

New to the Android scene. I have an iPhone3gs and am leaning towards the Inspire over the Atrix. Quick noob question. Can Swype be installed on this device?

Yes but

Unless you are rooted (which at least for now looks semi-difficult), you need to sideload it. I haven't had enough posts yet to post an outside link, but you can Google "install swype inspire" and the first hit should get you started.

easiest guide you'll find. Literally took me 5 minutes, and I've never run commands on a computer. Hardest thing was to find a torrent for WinZip lol

@antioch216: Thanks. That was the link I wanted to post!

It's very easy. Didn't take me all that long either. I used the Mac/Linux method and it was easy breezy.

Thanks for the link. One other question. What are your thoughts on Swype vs the stock keyboard? I've never actually used it myself but have heard lots of hype surrounding it.

Thanks!

Swype is really awesome I think. It's really easy to get used to. In my experience you only have to use one finger and it's pretty forgiving in terms of the letters you hit.

Swype is much faster for me once I got used to it.... except when it's messing up. Sometimes the autocorrect is just so bad that it would be faster to send the message in morse code, but that doesn't happen often.

i'm a big fan of swype.

Go here and you can download the beta version of swype to your phone http://www.swypeinc.com/

In that case go to your swype settings, and adjust your speed vs. accuracy and see what works best for you.
