Soooooo is there anyway to back up your dictionary before you uninstall 3.25?

I don’t hope so. That would be horrible. No updates for it unless you have the Swype installer which doesn’t come on your phone if it’s preinstalled. I’d rather just install it after the fact

People you need to realize Swype coming preinstalled on your phone is a bad thing. You don’t get any of the updates Swype puts out.

i have it pre-installed on my bionic and “swype” does not show up when i go to “manage applications” in settings…any ideas? does pre-installed disqualify me?

Glad I won’t have to keep uninstalling to upgrade, but I hope if they change teh theme, they build in theme settings so we can set it back to blue or change it to match our phone’s theme instead of some new colors they think are nice. I like the dark keyboard with blue trace, almost matches my CM7

The only thing, which I hope gets added in before the beta becomes the release, is the number arrangements; when switching to the number keyboard the jagged number layout bugs the hell out of me. Its fixable now just by pressing the button again and it snaps to an actual number pad, but that should be the default!!!

Loving this new beta, if Swype keeps improving, at this rate I might consider a keyboardless phone

Same way you uninstall any other app. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications. In your list of apps you’ll see both Swype and Swype Installer. Just click Swype and hit the Uninstall button. Then launch Swype Installer and it will automatically prompt you to download the latest version of Swype.

Installing the new version does not remove Swype Installer. It just hangs on like a vestigial limb. I presume that you can safely uninstall it once you update Swype to 3.26, but haven’t tried it yet.

I do, and actually…I used it for a good couple months…just because I was being stubborn.
Never really worked out. It was mediocre…not faster…and still frustrating having learned the patterns by heart.
