Strange...I haven't noticed any bugs. Also, its not like they create special bug-free versions to put on phones from the OEMs. The OEMs get the same stuff that's out there right now. And if the DX is any indicator, you won't get a newer version...ever! The big difference (for me) is that i won't have to go through the PITA process of removing the stock Swype before I can upgrade to a newer version.
I'm gonna try it again.
