Hi guys,
Now that Dell have bundled Swype with their new 2.2, I was wondering if we would be able to get updates and stuff for Swype? In the past, I've had a go on versions of swype that had an extra page that would have a full arrow pad (really missing the arrow keys and NUM pad in 2.2) as well as CUT and PASTE buttons which I thought was amazing, so ultimately I'm hoping we could get something similar for 2.2. So would it be possible to get updates of Swype or is there a way of modding the one now to have this extra page of buttons?
Cheers
Swype from the swype button, bottom left, to the SYM key next to it.

WOW, I could I have missed that? lol
I missed having the arrow key on the old keyboard too. Didnt care very much for the number pad however. This is perfect.
Thank you.
Touch the SYM button, then hold the ABC button that it turns into will give you a keypad.

Wow....thanks p_razzi, I knew about the page with the keypad but I did not know about Swyping the Swype icon and SYM. Thanks dude!
can someone extract the apk for swype & upload it so I can try it on my 2.1

I want to give a Thanks for this post but the option isn't there.
Is that because of its age?
This thread shows how to update to the latest version of swype that is for the streak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009673

When I wanted to switch my keyboard to Swype, I had to long-press on the text box itself (where your words appear) to be able to choose my keyboard. Hope this helps.

Thank you!!! it does work like that....
My friend has the. Inspire. And a cool feature of his keyboard is when he rubs his finger across multiple letters. It moves his blinking line around. I have a hard time going back through text if I have made a mistake. Is there a keyboard I can get for the attic like that?
Thank you!

Its called Swype and it came preinstalled on your Atrix. On your phone go to a messaging or email app, anything where you would normally input text. Hold your finger down in that area and you will get a popup, select input method, swype.
Ahh crap.. Ty! Not exactly what I had in mind but it works!

I see, you mean the cursor. Now that you have Swype installed, on the botom left of your keyboard swype from the "s hand" button to the "sym" button. Now you have cursor controls.
Check out thumb keyboard in the market. Had cursor control and different themes.

SwiftKey has a new beta version on the market. Try it out, i like it very much.
Is there a keyboard out that has a space bar the is longer, with the ability to autocorrect? I like the I'm using, but I keep hitting the period instead of the space bar. I would imagine cutting the enter key in half, and removing the keyboard setting button would suffice. I am using the gingerbread sense mod board currently.
Thank you in advance,

I use better 8 keyboard. It might not show in the market, just google it. Im sure you will find it. There is a paid version and a free version, the free version is okay but its well worth buying, however alot of people google it and find the .apk file already online, but i suggest supporting the dev. who made it.
I use Thumb Keyboard (paid version) and it gives me different layout options. You might wanna check that out in the market as well.
I keep hearing people say Swype and for the life of me I have tried it, but it just seems to make top many mistakes

Lol. What keyboard are you using? If you typed that with Swype (timely typo), then maybe try to adjust the sensitivity and maybe checkout the tutorial. I was having issues too until I played around with it. Now it's my go to keyboard. Good luck
I use perfect keyboard. I find that swiping a single finger can't possibly touch the speed of two thumbs. Plus I like the split keyboard in landscape as without it is a bitbof a stretch.

Another one for Thumb Keyboard here. I've tried just about everything out there and always come back to it, the best one available in my opinion.
Smart keyboard here.

I used to use Better Keyboard before it was taken off the Market, but now I use ICS keyboard previously mentioned. If I ever used landscape to type, I'd grab a thumb keyboard.
Just picked up Swift Key X for. 49!

I switch between swype and thumb keyboard.
+1 for SwiftkeyX. And yep.. its on sale! Grab it before the price returns to normal.

LOVE better keyboard.
+1 for the ICS keyboard in the market. Great keyboard. I've got swiftkey but I just found it kind of meh.
I use Swype and I have a terrible time going back to any keyboard that doesn't have some sort of swiping interaction.
I have pretty large hands and I can reach all the way across the screen with my thumb, so I can hold and use the keyboard with the same hand. I don't think I'd be able to do that without a swiping keyboard.
I use swiftkey tablet X but there is one thing that annoys me to not end. The little area to the left of the "a" I seem to always hit vibrates when you click it but results in no "a".

Swype, but I use it like a standard keyboard (no 'swyping'). I use it because it has a hidden keyboard which makes cursor movement and other editing keys available. I came from a phone that had a mini joystick which made cursor movements around a text box very easy.
If you are wondering, to bring up the hidden keyboard you swype from the swype button to the right to the EN/'World' button.

Quite a few keyboards in the market have hidden cursors. Perfect keyboard and Gingerbread keyboard (by Stephen Lin I think) have hold, slide up space bar to get cursors.
