I installed it successfully, but I can't get it to launch.

NKT, when you say Text Input, do you mean where it says tap to compose or somewhere else?
 
Anyone else getting a message when the screen rotates from portrait to landscape? Something about not supporting the screen size . . . . otherwise it's working perfectly for me.

Is Swype really worth it?

I don't know yet. I downloaded it and got it working. I used it for some texts, and honestly, I'm not sure I like it. It's obviously a personal preference thing, depending on the way you type.

I would suggest that you download it and test it out--it's free. If you don't like it, you can easily remove it or go back to tapping.

I have been thrilled with it, I can type without switching to landscape mode for the slightly larger buttons. Long words are done in a second, and auto-correct works brilliantly.

Cool maybe I will check it out. I've been using landscape mode a lot. Its a pain though because there does not seem to be a send button to send a tm when in landscape mode.

Not exactly sure how Swype works however. Will check out YouTube again. Thanks!
 
I got this installed, I checked the Swype box in the settings and even went through the tutorial.

However, I just can't, for the life of me, figure out how to select this keyboard to actually use it in other programs. I only get Qwerty, phone, and compact qwerty.

First android phone - thanks for the help.

You have to change the keyboard to Swype. Open a text message and long press on the text input box. Then select Input Method and choose Swype.

When I start creating words like "this" it just beeps, is there something I'm doing wrong? Even the tutorial fails and just beeps

A few other people have had that problem. Not sure what they did to fix it, but I would try powercycling your phone.
