Some of the first Omnia's had a problem with the touchscreen. The problem had to do with the screen being less responsive. I got the Omnia in Jan 09, and was happy with it but I did need to use my finger nail for typing. When I got a replacement in June I couldn't believe the difference, it was 100x better.

Maybe this is your problem. Swype works perfect on my Omnia even though I have large fingers. On my first Omnia I probably would have to use my fingernail as well.

There is already a Swype keyboard for Android (not made by the same company but the functionality is the same). Just look in the market.

Thanks for posting. I love this keyboard. Taking a bit to get used to but it is wicked fast and accurate.

I did try it and it seemed to work just fine. It was $10 though which was to much in my opinion. This link is for the trial.

It looks like they dropped the price. It is $6.99 now.

I can attest to this as well. I bought my Omnia as soon as it was available on the website in early Dec 09. Just recently the bottom part of the screen gradually became completely unresponsive and I had it replaced. The new Omnia is fantastic very responsive and I no longer need to use my nail to swipe or slide to unlock.
