Does the swype keyboard lag like the stock keyboard? And is it just me, or is the lag worse when it is in landscape mode? (Flipped to either side)

Yeah that is what I'll have to do...unless they changed it you can't change your phone more than twice
I only ever had the Dinc so never had a issue.
You probably want to get signed-up now so you get an invite before the patch hits
Swype was bought by :"Nuance"? the company that owns dragon natural speaking. So the most recent versions use Dragon, which although i haven't tested is generally considered the best in the industry at voice to text.
Personally I think its a good thing.

Please note:
If it isn't preinstalled on your handset, or downloaded directly from beta.swype.com, the Swype .apk file is considered warez by Swype themselves. Please don't risk putting Android Forums in their legal team's gunsights.

Still no support for the gnex as of today.
So even though it's free, and beta, it's warez? They seem pretty uptight. That said, understandable that you don't want them to come down on the forums for that, but BOY do I wish I had swype. Loved it on my DroidX, miss it daily on my gnex.
And FlexT9 is owned by Nuance as well. Maybe they are positioning this as their General Marketplace keyboard while Swype is their OEM keyboard solution. Anyway, I am very happy with FlexT9 and have to assume the two share technology. I went from Swype (came preinstalled on my D2) to FlexT9 and really didn't have to pay attention to the change. Just entered text the way I always did.

I also just switched to FlexT9 today. The keyboard is a bit different, otherwise it works great. Took too long for swype to be updated, so the heck with it. I'm completely satisfied with Flex.

I hope to god that the new ICS swype will NOT include the stupid language button, Im so sick and tired of hitting espanol everytime i type somthing as its right in the way on the modded-leaked version.
I never had a issue hitting it. but now that I look, its just strange having something like that on the keyboard? Do people really change languages that often?

Long press the swype button -> Language Options ->uncheck any languages you don't want.
The button remains, though you can't inadvertently switch languages.
Interesting.
Just downloaded the official installer and it let me download and install the official Swype without any problems.
Haven't received an email from Swype, but this version seem to work just fine on the Nexus.
Maybe this is the long awaited update?

Can we remove the Swype installer once the official Swype has been installed?
Is there any real need for it?
I thought there was a way to have Swype use Google's Real-time dictation instead of Dragon. Anyone know how to do this?
Or do I have to change my keyboard back to Google input everytime?

you "should" be able to remove the installer, I don't know why you would though. it doesn't take much room and makes updating the app MUCH simpler.
I don't think there is a official way to use "google" instead of "dragon" on swype. Anything I can think of would probably involve someone messing with the "APK" file and is not supported/bad/don't do it/ etc

With the keyboard up, you can drag down the notification and select voice typing from the available input options. Doing so will allow you to use the voice actions, then quickly go back to swype when done.
