But like I said, IDK, try and see if the button works and I'll contact some people in the meantime, and hope some one comes through on this thread who's tried it. Sorry

yeah i know which screen your talking about. its just the 'stock' keyboard has the 4 arrows and neither shapewriter and swype have no arrows on its main keyboard. it would be perfect if they did.

Well they do, but they also have smaller keys for the letters. If swype had smaller letter keys, then it would be waaay harder to use, ya know? It's funny, I used to think the same thing when I used it on my TP2 with a considerably smaller screen, so I hope the larger screen will eliminate this issue for me.

Thanks, it does work. Only wish it had a microphone button to open speech to text.

As do many, and hopefully on the official release it will.

If yall could please post your likes/dislikes, maybe I can get some reaally nice devs to work it up for the EVO until official comes out.

Then select it:
Setting>Keyboard>check swipe. and then hold finger in textbox >Input method>Swype
(taken from post)

I understand everything but the "hold finger in the textbox" part.
I do not see a textbox or do not understand what it is.
I am a WIMO so please forgive my ignorance.

The textbox may be for example when you are sending a text (or searching, or URL input in your browser, etc...), press and hold on to the input area and a box will pop up, then select your input method which would be Swype.

hope that helps
