Swype is a very fast way to type on a touchscreen and once you get used to it going back to the regular keyboard is impossible. One nagging issue I’ve been having with Swype was that it was disappearing from the list of keyboards after reboot. As a result I had to re-enable it in Settings -> Language and Keyboard and then select it as a default keyboard.
It turns out that this was caused by Swype being moved to SD card. Once I moved it back to the phone memory, the problem disappeared.
The reason I moved it to the SD card in the first place was to free internal phone memory: Swype is over 3MB for English and Spanish and over 12MB for full version (English, Spanish, Chinese, German, UK English, Dutch, Portugese, Italian, Russian and French). But if any app is worth keeping in internal phone memory, it’s Swype.
Swype beta is currently open to all Android users.

I almost never write remarks, but i did a few searching and wound up here Tip: how to prevent Swype keyboard
from disabling on reboot. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you
do not mind. Is it only me or does it look as if like some of the responses appear as
if they are coming from brain dead people? And, if you
are posting at additional online sites, I would like
to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of all of
your communal sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
