i dont even see a swype in droid market

My Galaxy SII has it as a setting. Personally did not think I would like the on-screen keyboard, but it's not bad once you get the hang of it.

hasnt swype been around for a year or so?

website down hmmm

It's working now.

It's been around a couple of years now. Not sure why they don't put it on the market.

My wife had an EVO 4G Shift because she was convinced she had to have a keyboard. All of her phones have had one. She upgraded to the EVO 4G and has Swype and has never looked back. For the first time she has a phone without a keyboard.

I have always preferred touch screen since the Androids hit the market. I agree with the above that once you get used to Swype it's pretty cool.

I have the Samsung Moment for nearly 2 years and have had trouble getting half the apps to work at all. Now the battery is about to die and will need replaced soon. I am seriously considering getting an iphone because of all my frustrations.

I had that phone. total crap./ horrid battery, slow as all hell, doesnt run apps, randomly died for like 8 hours a few times I thought it was broken. I had the same exact frustration as you and looked right to the iphone just like you are. Since then, never liking apple much and learning more reasons to dislike apple I decided to start researching plenty capable droids instead.

The Moment was one of Samsung's first android phones. That phone got terrible reviews. Androids have come a long way since.

I have the new Razr and absolutely love it. No problems whatsoever and the display is, in my humble opinion, unequaled.

It will be beyond awesome when Motorola distributes Ice Cream Sandwich for the Razr sometime this spring.....

I have Sprint and use Admiral and love it. I also hate the onscreen key boards. Functionality is great and all of the applications work beautiful. Phone is also crystal clear

My wife just bought the Samsung Nexus and loves it. I had an iPhone 3GS on AT&T then switched back to Verizon and got the Droid Incredible. I hated it worst phone ever, when that finally broke as Droids often do because they are pieces of crap IMO I went to the iPhone 4 on Verizon and love it. A lot of people I know with droids had nothing but problems and don't like them. Your experience sounds similar to a lot of people I know including myself that own or have owned a droid.

got the Epic 4g. Love it so far.

Keyboard is sweet, has swype and swype is pretty good but still happy I got the keyboard, only using swype when plugged in and stuff.

Phone works great, no problems so far, same ol w battery figure ill just buy some backups.

Finally have a smart, smart phone.
