Swype tutorial
Here’s a video from droid life that walks you through the installation of Swype – not just a new keyboard, but a new method of typing. Man, I should be in advertizing.
Swype will be in the Market before too long, but for the time being you’ll have to do this the hard way. Written instructions from Droid Life are after the break.
The directions, quoted from Droid Life:
1. download and install the astro file manager from the android marketplace
2. download this zip file.
3. unzip that file, which will give you a file called “[mfhs]Swype-SwypeReference-WVGA854-trial-release.0.35.3959.apk”
4. copy the apk file to your handset’s sd card
5. on your android handset, go to settings > applications > and check the box next to “unknown sources”
6. use astro to browse for the apk file on your sd card, install it.
7. go to settings > language and keyboard. enable the swype keyboard.
8. you should now be able to switch between the standard keyboard and the swype keyboard by tapping-and-holding on any text input field.
9. and your done.

Shame it only works on the droid and other phones with higher rez screens lol.
swype on moto droid is awesome works perfect makes typing easy if you have a moto droid I highly recomend it

scratch that: with ALL android phones.. dont want anyone feeling left out, do we? except maybe behold 2 owners.. android or touchwiz, make up your mind.. they dont mix..

It's exactly like the Shapewriter keyboard that's already out in the market. ;)
Check out the free 30 day trial, I loved it and ended up buying the full version for $10.
