That said, I love the long press in Swype for symbols and the multi-page symbol/number pads. If ShapeWriter could include those two features I would be thrilled.
Also, according to the things I have read, Swype will not be released to the public as a stand alone app anytime soon. They seem to be focusing on OEMs including the software, much like Samsung with Swype on the Omnia2.

These darn OEM deals are getting in the way of good software getting in the hands of the masses! The Android port of the TouchPal keyboard got pulled so they could honor their OEM deal.
So far Swype seems to reject a fraction of the rejections I got from ShapeWriter. Maybe it likes my poor penmanship!
