Review

I just got swype so this isnt a real review however I thought this was important for people that have been holding out and still using the stock keyboard. I figured I would give the stock keyboard a fair chance i didnt want ot dl anything if I didnt have to. Well coming from the tp2 it was really hard to get use to the stock on screen keyboard. I was always misstyping everything and fowling up keys. I really hated texting and emailing it frusurated me. I finaly gave in and dl'ed swype instantly I am hooked it makes texting so much more easy and now the on screen keyboard is something I can live with lol. I am starting to think already that I may never require the feel of a slide out keyboard. I gave the stock keyboard a very fair shot but it just frusurated me to know end and the voice to text required i talke slow and like a robot, plus required i fix anything it picked up wrong lol some of the sentences you get with voice to text.

TRY SWYPE its freaking great! I know I am late and I hope this helps some of the few others that are holding out.

I am in the same boat as the OP, Swype has made the touchscreen keyboard something I can live with.

Note: Swype does use a fair amount of cpu/battery

Personally enjoy using it, except for txting in spanish, takes me twice as long correcting the words.

I think coming from the TP2 I prefer landscape as well. But the EVO doesnt do landscape very well. Well for me for some reason portrait seems to lesson my errors. Either way swype didnt change that I still use portrait more now that I have the EVO. I think I am starting to perfer portrait or at leas swype makes portrait likable.

I personally like ShapeWriter better, i am beta testing Swype right now and have been using it for a week... and really missed my shapewriter, imho.... it's mucho better. check it out in the market.

Why does it use so much CPU/battery?
