menu>settings>keyboard> select swype.

THEN

go into a text msg box and press hold in the field, until "input method" pops up select it then select swype

Thank you so much that is what I was forgetting to do! I did the factory reset and got my ShapeWriter back but could not get it to work! You are awesome I am so freaking happy now! You made my day!

ya I tried it out for a day and there is no way I type faster with swype than with a normal keyboard in landscape mode

now I just need a new version of the Droid X keyboard or maybe just to reinstall it

 

[vicshalls]

Just because I have not seen it what is the difference with the droid x keyboard?

 

[exclamation_mark]

I wouldnt mind seeing a screen shot of it either, What are the benefits of the Droid X over others?

 

[thomez]

bigger keys, multitouch support, and it gets rid of the useless arrows that are included in the stock Evo keyboard

If you swype for a week and then do a controlled test where you compare your swype speed with your traditional peck speed, I guarantee you swype will win. Like anything else, it requires some time to pick up the skill.

For the longest time, I would pause after each word to see it appear correctly. now i just swype my thought regardless of what suggestions pop up. then i go back to fix if necessary, which these days is rarely.

I agree and I have become a believer.

Same with me aeiou, I was like "Mehh" at first, now I couldn't live without it. I liked "SLIDEIT" as well but why pay for it when Swype is free and a touch better?

it just isn't for me. I like holding my phone in landscape mode, I hate typing or swyping with the small keyboard and my hands are small so I hate holding the phone with 1 hand and trying to slide my finger across it - constantly feel like I'm going to drop it

I could probably type 60 words a minute with the droid x keyboard and see no reason to change what works for me

I'm sure I could get used to it, but I feel no need to as it feels so awkward and only works in a layout that I prefer not to use to type or view web pages or messages
