Swype

[toadstools]

hey guys, just to say i'm using version 1.16.12.5230.t of Swype on my desire if it helps you find it and works great in portrait or landscape mode!

i've only just heard about swype as new to android and it blows me away every time i use it! i googled it and have installed astro to load it after downloading the link.

for anyone else not heard of it or used it look it up via you tube for demo..its awesome! nice forum here thanks..

I didn't know you could download it, I thought it was a closed beta.

EDIT: OK, it's certainly not as closed as I thought. Must give it a try, see what the fuss is about.

I'll be honest..I'm no techie by any means and prob got lucky on my first attempt looking for it and downloading it but just typed this on it! If I can remember where I found it I'll post some details..I love it..

 

[toadstools]

nice one..takes a bit of getting used to but very quick! Hope you get on ok.

Apparently there are many versions which don't work on the Desire due to the screen resolution. I found this version somewhere (may have been on XDA?) and it works fully on mine:

Haha well nevermind then, that looks like the same version

 

[toadstools]

is there any difference in that latest version to mine do you think guys??

 

[OFI]

No idea but yours is several versions old so maybe just upgrade anyway

 

[toadstools]

[toadstools]

[OFI]
