CVByrne Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Can't understand the need for a slide out qwerty keyboard since I found swype so would have no interest in the galaxy s. It's unnecessary bulk imo. But other than that the phone looks good piece of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Is Swype free and available on the desire? I can't find it in the app market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pro isn't coming to Europe anyway so it'll just be the Galaxy S for me. http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/06/25/samsung-galaxy-s-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 4 inch super AMOLED. Yes please, I was wondering what would make you sell a desire. I see it's that screen. Lovely As for swype. Checka few pages back for the code link don put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Is Swype free and available on the desire? I can't find it in the app market!It's beta, you can either register on the site and wait for it to open again, or grab one of the apk files I've linked previously.

TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I've installed Swype on my Desire successfully but how do I actually start to use it? I can't activate it or see it on my app page. Any ideas lads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'm a knob, I found it in settings. McFlyyyyyyyyyy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Nah I'm buggered, I've gone into the main settings and sorted that out but when I go back to send a text message I can't select Swype. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 2, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2010 Do you need to have a rooted phone to install it with the same methods you did, The Bear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Long press in an input box and you'll get the option to select between the standard keyboard and swype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Do you need to have a rooted phone to install it with the same methods you did, The Bear? I just used my barcode scanner to scan the first barcode Don put up a few pages back, installed no problem. I just cant find it. WHat's a rooted phone? A jailbroke one? Maybe I'll just restart the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Long press in an input box and you'll get the option to select between the standard keyboard and swype. Ah good man Don, I'll try that when my Desire finally restarts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Don you Daisy! Thanks for that. This may change the way I text forever. I'd normally text like this when pi$$ed anyway, at least now I'll make some sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Which version did you install? I've linked it twice in the thread, the first set expired, the second should still be good for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
