New phone

[jreid5]

yes i am getting the evo 4g i currently have the touch pro 2... i was wondering if the evo was capable of getting the swyp cab... also if there are any cabs or apps that you would recommend.... also is the phone still running on the android 2.1 or if u could update to 2.2 froyo yet thanks.

Yes you can use swype however its not a cab its a .apk file. Stock is currently 2.1 but there its a fully working 2.2 coming any day now. As for recommended apps there are tons off topics which cover that.

I know everyone would say this but I want to help you out...
if you up one level to the HTC Evo 4G level in this forum there will be a search button. Do a quick search for Swpe and you are gauranteed to find it. I believe it is also in the Android --> Apps & Games section.

Once you get the .apk on your device tap on the Menu button. Go to Settings --> Applications and check-off the Unknown Sources button. You will now be able to install Swype.

You will probably also be needing a File Explorer app. You can try ES File Explorer or Astro. Good luck with your Evo bro and dont forget to search. Otherwise, you will quickly get flamed in these forums...

You can check my sig... or here.. lalalala The link that says best evey keyboard here will link you to swype, and the post in general should help you all in all.

Must have .apk files for me...

Isn't it crazy having a market that actually has more than 20 programs

I wouldn't worry to much about swype right off the bat. Try the stock keyboard. With all of the corrections that it does for you, I find myself typing way faster than I did with the tp2 slide out keyboard.

yeah, I thought I'd need swype the instant I got this phone, but I've been satisfied enough with the keyboard to never go looking for it.
