Official Swype Beta Testing

[firefalldown]

Hey guys, didn't see a thread on this so I figured I'd let the word out, Swype is in its official beta and is accepting beta testers, just registered mine and downloaded and its pretty sweet! Hurry before it fills up or just download the apk below.

Dang it, looks like their putting copy protection on the new beta, just got a message telling me that my swype keyboard is configured for another device, looks like you'd be better off signing up with the beta

Whats the difference between this one and the one that has been out for download? Any new features?

Just started trying it now, at first glance they've added a vibrate feature as well as a different color scheme for word suggestions

Thx for link

You have to uninstall the old one to get this to work which I did.

It's a more advanced version but it does have some annoying things - vibrate on touch can be turned off but the tap sound it makes when hitting one key cant.

One of the options turns off the sound. Just found it - hold down the swype key to get options.

is it worth it to switch? my swype gets a little buggy but its tolerable most if the time.

My guess is this one will expire so it will keep it out of the hands of people that should not have it... if you remove the old one keep it... just in case.

This is awesome.. We can finally have this.. legally
I like the maw version already. Been using swype since day one and love it.

This is great. So much better than the last version I was using

Thanks for the link. I have tried the other swype-type keyboards, but I always go back to the original.
