I didn't see this thread so I am posting the instructions on how to install the newest version of Swype if were already part of the "Beta" but your phone has Swype Pre-installed (Droid X, Droid 2, etc). This was in the Swype Droid X forums but to my understanding this could also work for any phones with Swype Pre-installed (NOT 100% CONFIRMED DO AT YOUR OWN RISK). The instructions are from Swype Forum member grooves12, so thanks go to him.
"Tutorial: Installing Beta Swype on Droid X (or other pre-installed devices)
First, your Droid X must be rooted. There is plenty of info out there on how to accomplish this.
Get a root file manager (I use root explorer)
1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.
2. Mount file system as R/W
3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk
4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\system@[email protected]@classes.dex
5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so
6. Reboot
7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer
8. ENJOY!
I hold no responsibility if you screw up your system, and recommend you make a backup before attempting this, but, the above steps worked perfectly for me, and I am now running the latest Swype beta on my X.
These steps should also work on other models that come pre-installed with Swype from the factory, but I don't have another one to test, so have no way of being sure. If anyone tries it, let me know if it works for you!"
