no other product tried so hard to drive me away as swype.
first version i tried, perfect, easy to change languages, just no non-english dict.
second version, i was downloading updates like a madman. not so easy to change languages. still no dict for non-english. harder to type in symbols i use often.
tird version. same problems. plus a change of settings to auto correct words that i had to find out how to turn off.
fourth... i don't really remember what they changed on the 4th update, maybe they made numbers as hard as the symbols now... all i know is that i'm back to the stock keyboard and after adding words like crazy to my personal dict, i don't miss swype the slightest. good riddance.
edit: remembered what they changed last... it was a mindfuck way of handling punctuation/backspace/space with the feature that delete the word right after it's typed.
