if you have swype, how often do you use your physical keyboard?

Password entry and when I use Andchat. For some reason I like the physical keyboard for Andchat over SWYPE. Oh and address entry in the browser. SWYPE is not always good for website names.

I LOVE swype. Its almost magical... however I still find myself to type texts and such with the slide-out keyboard. Lots of people, including iPhoners, always ***** about how stupid physical keyboards are when you have a touchscreen... well i beg to differ... I woudl NEVER buy a new phone without a nice physical keyboard. IMO.

Swype is primary and the physical keyboard is used only when I'm typing words I know it won't recognize, or if I decide it's REALLY important to type and walk without killing myself (Typo and Walk)

way to close to the equator for my taste...
hardly ever use the keyboard, swype is great... only problem i have is a message that sometimes appears saying the "swype app is not suited for your device you may not be able to use all features." the problem is quickly fixed by changing the input method to keyboard then back to swype but i would like to see this app work correctly someday.

Sorry but Swype is a poor man's excuse for no multitouch soft keyboard. With that said, I never use the physical keyboard anyway. But I would definitely stay away from the stock Andriod keyboard. I use HTC's IME keyboard.
