What keyboard are YOU using?

I hate the new version, I want to go back to the old one. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the second number keyboard layout, like found on calculators and phones (I'm sure it has a technical name but I have no idea what it is).

Glide your finger from the Swype logo key to the letter r or number 4 on the keyboard & the numeric keypad will open up.
Is that what you were looking for?

I just successfully updated to 3.26.92.36178.
I got the Swype logo in the notification bar saying i updated and to check to forums for a complete list of changes.

Looks the same appears to have no new settings.

Are you running the latest OTA beta version?

Swype is all i have ever ran on Android since the second day i got my first Android hTC Wildfire back this January.
A guy from Australia showed me where to get a spacial version for QGVA screens off megaupload, ever since then i was hooked.
I guess i just hate the chicken peck, peck style of text input, love the fluidity of Swype! ;)
 
I am apparently running 3.26.92.35381.
How does one update? Did you notice much of a difference?

Since the last time I tried Swipe on my Eris a while ago, it has improved vastly in my opinion. It just get more words correct. Oh, and I don't remember the user dictionary working this well either. Loving it.
 
Would you guys mind sharing what you like about the keyboard you have? I have no idea of the differences or what's available out there. I've been using the keyboard that came on the phone. I find it gets hung up sometimes when I'm typing on a forum or Facebook although I haven't noticed this happening with my email apps. I also can't get more than 2 keyboards in those instances so I don't have access to certain characters I really want, most noticeably the '<' sign.

Just get your hands on a few of the keyboards and try them out. You really need to feel them under your fingers to get the differences.
 
The language button gets in the way of what? The new version is way faster, it can keep up with me no matter how fast I go. Way cool. I prefer the blue Swype theme but I will probably get used to the orange.

I just hit it accidentally like 3 times trying to press numbers.
I will probably get used to it.
I agree this update rocks! :-)
Long pressing the Z brings up lots of different emoticons.
I think I like it like this over the blue.

Tapping numbers and then long pressing the same key goes to an edit keyboard.

This thing is hella fast. I used to have to slowly think about my Swypes.

yeeehaaa!!! :-D
I never knew about this, easily hide the keyboard, Swype from the Swype logo key to the backspace.
Bring up the numeric keypad quickly, Swype from the logo key to the number 5.

Swype from Swype to numbers goes to the edit keypad.

Yes, Swype from the Swype logo key to the key with the 123 +!= the key right next to it (what you are calling numbers) does go into the edit keypad.
Swyping from the logo key to the number 5(t) on the top row of keys goes to the numeric keypad.
Holding down the numbers key (123 +!=) also goes into the numeric keypad, holding it down when on the numeric keypad. LOL :)

There is more than one way to skin a cat...

LOL , just found this...

Bump...update!

Swype beta update with next word prediction by hitting the spacebar after swyping a word, with an even cooler trace line, if set to do not show complete trace line. You will have to download the installer for this one. It is different from the latest version of Swype, you will be given the option in the settings to use Swype beta, check the box. :D:D:D

Swype becomes smarter in latest update, now a
