- Uninstall SWYPE from Settings/Applications/Manage Applications
- Launch the latest Swype Installer from your SD card – find using Astro or other file browser
- Log in to your Swype beta account using email and password (Search your email or go to swype.com if you forgot it)
- Install, activate, and select Swype per the instructions
Voila you are up to date

Would be great on a phone but I’m not upgrading just yet because I’m looking forward to ICS on a GN.

Other than that, I use it on all my android toys. Can’t even think of how I used to text with my old Razr from the day, lol.

I think I cleared the data on the existing version first, then ran the installer.
