Swype Now at Nokia Beta Labs. Brings Portrait Qwerty to Symbian^1 Too

Watch the official announcement video and a raw footage of me Swyping one-handed with the Nokia C6 after the jump.
My Nokia C6 Typing Challenge Entry for #NokiaBox
For our next #NokiaBox challenge, we were asked to submit our fastest time typing “The quick brown fox jumped over the NokiaBox,” using the touchscreen and the QWERTY keyboard on the Nokia C6. My teammate Erick used QWERTY while I opted for the touchscreen. Our combined time will set our entry. Watch my part of the challenge after the jump.
