Swype keyboard for Droid, Nexus and Milestone

[shantanu]

If you're a Droid User (or Nexus One user or Milestone user) eager to give Swype for Android, Early video look at Swype on Android | Android Central a try, there's a beta that you can download! The downloadable beta only works with WVGA handsets (hence Droid and Nexus One) so those with HTC Heroes and Droid Erises are a little out of luck for the time being. Reports are saying that Swype for Android is actually pretty sweet and works rather well, so go ahead and give yourself a try!




1. Download and install the Astro file manager from the Android Marketplace
2. Download this http://droidmuff.in/wp-content/uploa...al-release.zip.
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.

The answers to all your questions are yes except astro you can use any filemanager you want also I believe Swype has been updated since he posted that , so you might wanna look into easier method ....
about CRYSTALTALK on the milestone I believe its broken on 2.1 , its a known issue
