Demo: Swype for Symbian 2.0 Beta
Swype for Symbian got updated to 2.0 and it’s available now at Nokia Beta Labs. The most obvious change is support for portrait and split-screen for devices with Symbian Anna. Here’s a demo of this awesome keyboard on my Nokia N8.
Demo: Portrait Swype Keyboard Update on Nokia Astound
The T-Mobile Nokia Astound got an update last week with the addition of Swype keyboard in portrait mode. This is currently the only Symbian^3 phone with this feature. The rest (Nokia C7, Nokia N8, Nokia E7) still only has Swype in landscape mode. I hope to see this feature in all Symbian^3 phones soon. Video after the jump.

Swype for Symbian^3 Now at Ovi Store, Install it on Your Nokia N8
I was pretty excited to hear that Swype showed up at the Ovi Store for Symbian^3 devices.

If the app is not showing up at the Ovi Store for your N8, there’s a direct link for download.
Swype Now at Nokia Beta Labs. Brings Portrait Qwerty to Symbian^1 Too
One of my wishes for Nokia became true this morning when Swype for Symbian became available at Beta Labs. If you are unfamiliar with Swype, it’s a faster way to input text on screen by sliding your finger over the letters. I know it sounds crazy, but it works really well after learning how to use it. Watch the official announcement video and a raw footage of me Swyping one-handed with the Nokia C6 after the jump.
