It's odd that I don't have those problems

actually, after trying to use shapewriter for a day i am a total fail. switched back to swype.

I wish shapwriter had the options Swype does, but I prefer the keyboard layout of Swype over Shapewriter. but I can teach swipe email address but cann't with shapewriter. I'd like to take the best of both and make 1 swiping keyboard

I prefer the keyboard on Shapewriter but Swype does a much better job at picking the right word.

Beyond a doubt. If you get in a hurry and want to swipe very quickly, Swype is much more forgiving when you aren't exact with your swipe.

Just an FYI, if one wants to caps a WHOLE word in swype just hold down the shift key for 1-2 secs and then the keyboard will stay in all caps till you hit shift again.

Or simply do a double loop when you cap the first letter, like doing double letters.

I'm trying Shapewriter. It's a change from Swype, like a standard shift and driving a Model T (nothing to do with age, it's just that the pedals on a Model T do different things). An odd thing was that Shapewriter didn't recognize the word "Metric." Even doing a touch typing, it wanted me to add it. Still, with practice, I'm getting better with it.

That helps, thanks. I was using Shapewrite before I tried swype and would go back if I had to but I find swype to be much more fun.:icon_ banana:

Mine did that on first install. I just tapped between the ABC keyboard and the 123 one and it worked. You may try to reboot the phone if that doesn't work.

OOPS-- I just remembered that mine did that this morning after i got that "Your version of Swype has expired, please update" message. I had to uninstall both the Swype app AND the installer(s) before installing the beta version that is the new release.

OK so i have to uninstall everything and install it again? um....how do you do that when the app isnt in the app list?

Go to the home menu, click Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications and select the Swype apps and uninstall. On mine, the installer app didn't appear until after I uninstalled Swype. Then I went back to the link they sent in the email and started over.
