Looking at the Swype web site, it appears to at least support the Droid X (could be native). Don't see any version for the original Droid, though. :(
Due to the nature of the technology, I wonder if it only works on phones with the larger screens? -TS From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Brad Grafelman Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 12:16 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] OT- Droid Er.. wait a sec; apparently Swype is built-in to the Android OS if you've got a Droid X (well it is on mine, anyway, and I'm pretty sure I didn't install it). I just opened a new text message, tapped-and-held in the message box area (where your typed letters appear - not the soft keyboard itself), and the third menu option - "Input method" - allowed me to switch to Swype. Having never used it before, I'm actually quite impressed with how well we're getting along... this makes T9 an embarrassment to cell phones, IMHO! :P Thanks, Brad Grafelman E-mail: bradgrafel...@gmail.com<mailto:bradgrafel...@gmail.com> Phone: (309) 657-5582 On Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 8:13 PM, Brad Grafelman <bradgrafel...@gmail.com<mailto:bradgrafel...@gmail.com>> wrote: Swype isn't available on the Verizon market, although you can grab the .apk file from other websites (e.g. droid-life.com<http://droid-life.com>) and manually install it.

If you don't have swype, you must get it. I stopped using the hardware keyboard once I got swype. I can type faster on swype than I can on a computer with a full keyboard (usually). ________________________________ From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org<mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org> [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org<mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org>] On Behalf Of Chris kuntzman Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 3:22 PM To: tech-geeks@tech-geeks.org<mailto:tech-geeks@tech-geeks.org> Subject: [tech-geeks] OT- Droid Got my new Droid in the mail today.
