New Swype Technology For Typing Text Launched For Smartphones – Will It Replace QWERTY?

Posted on Nov 25th, 2009 under Video iPhone, iPhone rumors - 549 Comments

A lot of mobile phones today, including the iPhone, have made typing easier by providing QWERTY keyboards.

But can typing on mobile handsets get much more easier than this? Swyping is an upcoming technology that strives to achieve just that.

So how is it different from typing on a QWERTY keyboard? Well, the letters of the alphabet are aligned in pretty much the same way as in a QWERTY keyboard. But instead of pressing the letters one by one while typing a message, swyping lets you to simply touch and drag your finger across the screen to the various letters to input the text.

This new technology has been developed by Cliff Kushler who is also well known for developing the T9 predictive typing technology for mobile phones. The new technology is being made available for the first time on Samsung Omnia II and the company has announced that swyping shall be made available on Android handsets pretty soon.

The technology looks interesting. But is it actually quicker than the present QWERTY keyboard? We have our doubts. A video developed by the company and published by TechCrunch compares swyping on Omnia against typing on an iPhone keyboard and concludes that the swypist is much quicker than the iPhone typist.

The video does not seem to be providing a fair comparison and pits an expert swypist against a newbie iPhone typist.

Nevertheless, it is an interesting technology that could be the future. Kushler’s T9 technology is today available on close to 2.4 billion mobile phones and it will be exciting to see how far this new technology can go. What is your opinion on swyping? Please tell us in the comments.

hahah, the guy who is typing with the iPhone is not very good at it. But, i must agree, it is a very innovative way of typing with the Swype. But GOD, that UI is ugly. xD

by moronman6290 , on November 25 2009 @ 3:30 pm

I think iPhone is still better…
by Fraxed , on November 25 2009 @ 3:34 pm

proves the iphone is still the best and other companies are simply trying to make the iphone.

Yea I think this guy got paid to make the iphone look bad
by TuttixD , on November 25 2009 @ 3:46 pm

the Swype typing works on iPhone too ?I use it in my SMS app
by qoralswp , on November 25 2009 @ 3:47 pm

Comparing the typing on each phone doesn’t really prove which one is better…
by Rman0412 , on November 25 2009 @ 3:50 pm

You can tell the Swype guy wasnt typing he kept missing Letters and Typing incorrect Letters so basically the Swype was Computerized to do that
by franz0thinking , on November 25 2009 @ 3:53 pm

iPhone better coz iPhone typing guy kept mis-spelling words and erasing them, that’s y it took him longer
by Wordless22 , on November 25 2009 @ 4:01 pm

Well, there’s an application for iPhone called shapewriter pro that simulates Swype, but even though it’s pretty cool idea and I got use to it a little bit, I’m still typing faster on the normal iPhone’s keyboard…
by ZaklampAjax , on November 25 2009 @ 4:01 pm

iPhone is G A Y
by Anime4064 , on November 25 2009 @ 4:05 pm

yea cause its harder to press the smaller keys, hes not miss spelling, hes mistyping cause the keys are smaller than your finger, you don’t need to defend every product you purchase

Lol the guy on the right is typing retarded kinda like the exagerated comercislals on paper towels lol this phone is gay iPhone FTW
by gaspiden , on November 25 2009 @ 4:12 pm

LOL! The problem is Iphone has an app for just about everything. So there’s probably and app for this type of typing too…….fail. So yep, IPHONE WINS!!!

lol You are the slowest iPhone typer ever
by loadsofbettys , on November 25 2009 @ 4:20 pm

The fact that you type like a retard with the iPhone just males this video a bucket bullshit.. Plus swipe looks awful
by mancreep , on November 25 2009 @ 4:26 pm

the iphone can type better than that, but that doesnt mean it faster—–btw, you guys who are crazy apple fans, need to bow down the crackberry crowd—-we blow you guys out of the water with our physical keyboards, so suck it.
by da1wad , on November 25 2009 @ 4:33 pm

Yeah I can type faster on my iPhone and this swype thing is weird. To type “to” he did some sort of traingle when in reality it’d be just a straight swype from the t to the o.
by skydark , on November 25 2009 @ 4:35 pm

I don’t.
by qmaster2012 , on November 25 2009 @ 4:36 pm

it actually does look pretty bad, nomatter what you make, no matter how seemingly amazing you think it is, the iphone will always be the best phone ever period. The iphone was freakin revolutionary!
by fran13r , on November 25 2009 @ 4:36 pm

ok i hate apple fans and i think iphone sux but honestly, i dont like swype either! physical keyboard FTW!

you’re gay
by JackBossHD , on November 25 2009 @ 4:37 pm

lol if you guys want to know why iphones are always better than any other phones check out the music video I made for the iphone, you’ll understand!
by neotoy , on November 25 2009 @ 4:42 pm

Pretty brilliant system. Reducing language to semi-abstract gesture compounds. Basically you are typing in pictographs similar to Chinese or kanji rather than words.
by iSuperiStar , on November 25 2009 @ 4:44 pm

Ah-hahhaah…. LoL, commercial for samsung… Techcrunch… Why so stupidius?
by technoodle1 , on November 25 2009 @ 4:45 pm

The guy on the iPhone is freaking slow. I’m on my iPhone right now. See no errors. I didn’t go back either and I’m going fast. I personally love apple.

iphone pwns all…
by DonBitim , on November 25 2009 @ 4:51 pm

just buy a n97 you got a qwert keyboard and a touchscreen! Or you can take a blackberry, it is for sure better than a i phone or a Swype!
by petergelderplom , on November 25 2009 @ 4:57 pm

ur all missing the point.at least its orginal and smart, like the iphone was when it came out. now every1 has 1 nd its a bit shit as it has no exclusivity a decent idea…

Dumb shit, atualy study the main features of each product them compare then atualy make a true judgement idiot.
by Get20online , on November 25 2009 @ 5:21 pm

that guys types slow and the iphone has this function as an app if you want it…..
by ChemicalKatastophe , on November 25 2009 @ 5:23 pm

yeah the swypes fast but the person holding the iphone was typing rly slow i could go faster and probbly be done at the same time as the swype and they were holding the ipone rly akwardly.. :S
by BooWhooser , on November 25 2009 @ 5:25 pm

They’re not even using any of the shortcuts on the iPhone – double space and you get a full-stop – but they don’t use it. So it’s not a really valid comparision – it looks like they’re using the short-cuts when they are using the samsung

They make the iphone look slower but not using it in landscape and not using short cuts. using short cuts and landscape keyboard I could finish typing the sentence way before the swype phone

by obviousanonisobvious , on November 25 2009 @ 6:34 pm

theres an app for that….fuckin idiots
by obviousanonisobvious , on November 25 2009 @ 6:36 pm

no matter what another phone company comes up with(unless its hardware related) there is an app for it already or there will be a month later…
by Dbro88911 , on November 25 2009 @ 6:37 pm

Im sure if apple saw this to be useful they would have already employed the system into their own.Plus, who types that slow on an iphone.
by polloatm17 , on November 25 2009 @ 6:39 pm

i want one of those
by alex098710 , on November 25 2009 @ 6:39 pm

what is this song?
by drunkinthepool , on November 25 2009 @ 6:40 pm

whats the name of this song
by obviousanonisobvious , on November 25 2009 @ 6:42 pm

I just tried this on an iPhone and I beat the Swype typist by 5 seconds and I didn’t have to go back and correct a word, which means i beat it by 8 seconds.
by obviousanonisobvious , on November 25 2009 @ 6:44 pm

tracing is very counter-intuitive. Typing is much faster than the obviously type-tarded person on the iphone..
by Punisherx50 , on November 25 2009 @ 6:45 pm

Is there an actual app for it?
by chesca1012 , on November 25 2009 @ 6:51 pm

I think the guy is just typing slow in the iPhone… -___-

by corrinepwn , on November 25 2009 @ 7:05 pm

this totally isnt fair the the person on the iphone is typer slower on purpose this is stupid!
by gosselin34 , on November 25 2009 @ 7:10 pm

Thts gay!!! He purposly messed up on the iPhone.
by 10electro01 , on November 25 2009 @ 7:11 pm

It seems like swype is better, but I tried racing the video on my iphone and I beat swype by about 10 seconds both vertically and horizontally.
by doenjangnam , on November 25 2009 @ 7:12 pm

Whats with the screen flicker at 0:38? Not only is the swype user comparatively more experienced that the iPhone user, but the clip has been edited to make it appear faster. I thought TC was more trustworthy than this…
by leilalana394 , on November 25 2009 @ 7:14 pm

haha i bet you’ve never seen pics this dirty!

by VonCarlsson , on November 25 2009 @ 7:20 pm

Really bad comparison, on the iPhone you’re typing like a real newbie.
by mephesis , on November 25 2009 @ 7:22 pm

lots of iphone crackheads here lol. whine all u want, iphone just plainly suck for typing compared to anything
by DM6GUN , on November 25 2009 @ 7:22 pm

wow after the iphone came out all companies have been trying to get something better than the iphone but is just NO HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!
by lykkelinda , on November 25 2009 @ 7:23 pm

On the iPhone we can just flip the screen, and it’ll get faster and easierto type fast. The other one looks kinda confusing, as one have to know where all the letters are placed before one type the word.
by pussywran , on November 25 2009 @ 7:26 pm

hey everybody the swype MUST be better if u can txt message faster… cause thats all a phone can do… NOT, i would never by that phone cause u can txt 15 seconds faster…
by doudoub2005 , on November 25 2009 @ 7:28 pm

Its not like were looking to write paragraphs in seconds on our cellphone iphone has way more better fetures anyways
by thegamemp15 , on November 25 2009 @ 7:29 pm

lmao a phone trying to compete with the iphone? is this failblog ?
by hunneybunzxoxable , on November 25 2009 @ 7:42 pm

K so basically I call bs cause who ever was typin on that iPhone was typin really really slow! So I did the same paragraph sentence thingy myself and timed myself with a stop watch and I typed mine in 40.4 seconds verses there time of 1min 8 secs they were just tryin to make the swype look better
by hunneybunzxoxable , on November 25 2009 @ 7:44 pm

O forgot to mention I also beat the swype by like idk 10 seconds I forget the exact time but wasn’t it like 53 seconds?
by ohjenxo , on November 25 2009 @ 7:49 pm

that person is obviously used to the other phone and has never used an iphone before.
by pussywran , on November 25 2009 @ 7:53 pm

hahaha best comment ever
by evilbobshort , on November 25 2009 @ 8:00 pm

type with one hand not two and it will be faster. Lame Swype
by xoBrOwNEyeCuTie21xo , on November 25 2009 @ 8:01 pm

They are going very slow on the iPhone I can text really fast in the iPhone/itouch and still beat that phone. But that verizon phone is still cool
by TonyJab32 , on November 25 2009 @ 8:07 pm

I typed faster on my iphone with one hand than the swype guy did with two. This shit fails.
by serfox1 , on November 25 2009 @ 8:11 pm

I can type the text twice over before Swype finishes and gets to correcting the typo. Sorry, but that looks rubbish and failish. Nice try…
by TheresPooOnMyShoe , on November 25 2009 @ 8:18 pm

hey look at that another iPhone rip off
by xian1218 , on November 25 2009 @ 8:23 pm

wait what are you implying by stating you cant believe a phone is “trying” to compete against the iphone?! last i checked the iphone was getting murdered by hTC come on look how the TP2 and the Leo are preying on them.. hTC is top of the “Phone” chain right now now no crummy Mac LMAO
by xXxStickySheetzxXx , on November 25 2009 @ 8:25 pm

Thats not even fucking fair, maybe if they got someone who didnt have down syndrome to type on the iphone, they would’ve probably beaten the “swype”.
by Best707GetClanWGWT , on November 25 2009 @ 8:28 pm

free stuff check my page
by simbapooch , on November 25 2009 @ 8:33 pm

Wow , the guy using the iPhone obviously doesn’t know how to use the freaking keyboard. And the “swype” is just another gimmick on one of the many iPhone clones popping up nowadays.
by lowpostz , on November 25 2009 @ 8:39 pm

I have an iPhone and for longer messages the qwerty is ok, but it is a hassle to input some short text message quickly, especially if its not in Latin alphabet. My gf types faster with one hand (while biking, advantage of a non touchpad phone, which she prefers over the touch phones) with t9 as words appear with much fewer ‘clicks’. That’s the point being made with the swipes also. For people who type a lot the swype will be faster, but there will be a steeper learning curve to use it well.
by economyones , on November 25 2009 @ 8:43 pm

Swype as in Wype your A** with it.
by thaishostin , on November 25 2009 @ 8:46 pm

me too
by bkbroiler888 , on November 25 2009 @ 8:56 pm

which only means had someone more talented used it, they could have done even better on the Swype. iphone is way over rated if you ask me.
by mateoscorner , on November 25 2009 @ 8:59 pm

uh u can hit the spacebar twice for a period on the iphone, this is so lame
by saucyisawesome , on November 25 2009 @ 9:00 pm

it’s funny how most phones are comparing there’s to the iPhone lol hahaha.. You can’t compare nothing from the iphone.. It’s like.. comparing PC vs. Mac. Mac is hands down much better than PC. Even though that swype beat the iphone on this.. The guy using the iPhone is just going terribly slow. I chat with my iPhone on MSN messenger, AOL, and Yahoo Messenger..and I go so much faster than that guy and that guy is just terribly slow…..
by pokesnoke , on November 25 2009 @ 9:04 pm

You bring something that may be an alternative, and ifans give it 1 star so the vid ends up with only 2 stars. apple fans are the most annoying. The mind set is they’re brainwashed into thinking one company is the best and every thing is a copy, and they should worship Jobs. All bent out of shape with 1/2 calling it an iphone rip off. It’s a NEW PHONE! and there are plenty more coming out. If apple were so great they would have included these features FIRST along w/ those found on others
by abcshrill , on November 25 2009 @ 9:08 pm

You’re just doing what ever other insecure mac fan boy does. No offense, but you are. First off PC’s are better than macs. OR at least they are roughly the same. Also you don’t consider that what matters is how much movement it takes to type. If the swype is more efficient then the same person on the iphone will type more quickly on the swype. I’m not sure that it is, but you have to consider that. Exaggerating the truth won’t save the iphone. And there are tons of phones coming out.
by 11olimar1092 , on November 25 2009 @ 9:11 pm

Neither are very fast. I can type much faster on my Droid’s physical keyboard despite people saying its flat and useless, it’s not. And to those saying it’s another copy of iPhone that’s like saying iPhone is a copy of my land line phone I had 10 years ago.
by HARIUCOoL , on November 25 2009 @ 9:15 pm

Wwooooooow .. that’s gret
by kpopsaranghaex3 , on November 25 2009 @ 9:27 pm

just because you can type on it, doesnt change the fact that the keyboard is flat. LOL. I had a htc tilit and i thought that keyboard was flat, the droid keyboard flatout sucks. and yes i have used it before so i am talking from experience. also, this way of typing isnt new. this swype thing is the exact same thing as the program for winmo called SHAPEWRITER. they basically bought it from him and renamed it. O.o
by aznniglet , on November 25 2009 @ 9:30 pm

whoever is typing on the iphone is amazing slow.
by p01s0nAc1d , on November 25 2009 @ 9:37 pm

by ferrariguy25 , on November 25 2009 @ 9:40 pm

That was crazy! Swype is a very neat idea.
by laughingperson5 , on November 25 2009 @ 9:50 pm

This is pretty bias. People that have got accustomed with their iPhone do not. type. that slow.
by SMFApples , on November 25 2009 @ 9:50 pm

Yeah Mac is hands down better… oh wait you can get exact and better replications on the pc. No way!
by akashah18 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:00 pm

unbelievably stupid. thats not typing at all to the person using iphone. i can type that super short phrase way way way faster than SWYPE. =.=
by Tuckxzon07 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:00 pm

sorry but my grandma can type faster than you LOL
by chanmo1234 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:05 pm

im pretty damn sure the “swype” person who typed it has used swype more often than the iphone..
by raazstone , on November 25 2009 @ 10:09 pm

lame copycat, for all the year these companies like Samsung, motorola, gave these crappy cellphones.
by azteck , on November 25 2009 @ 10:13 pm

It’s not bias at all, it would be bias to say that you can type with the iPhone a lot faster since you’ve been using it for a while. Somebody new to both phones wouldn’t tell you which one was easier based on experience.
by robmcdonald94 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:13 pm

the keyboard would get annoying and i have an iphone and i can type way faster than that

by thegamemp15 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:55 pm

1 star becuz its a stupid way to compare phones…obviously the chose a retard to type on the iphoneits not becuz we praise applei frankly think apple sucks…especially the macbut really there is nothing out there like the iphone…buy and iphone and buy any other phones of ur choice…see which1 u like better for urself…ive had many phones and iphone blows all of them out of the water
by SyphonFilter25 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:55 pm

You can tell by the rating of 2-3 stars that all the apple fanboys raged about this and rated it low.If tomorrow Apple created a toothbrush with apple on it, fanboys would be lining up to look at it. 5 stars.
by SyphonFilter25 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:57 pm

You’re definitely the type to be arrogant about accepting the fact that something out there can actually be better than Apple.Comment posted using Windows 7.
by 11olimar1092 , on November 25 2009 @ 10:57 pm

The iPhone is coming under a lot of attack more so than ever right now and it is starting to crumble. Just because it is popular does not mean it is better than other phones. iPhone is a style and fad that will eventually pass. Mullets were popular in the 80’s does that mean they’re better than other haircuts? Popular ≠ good.
by navillust49 , on November 25 2009 @ 11:22 pm

thats crazy!!!
by XCxOxDx4X , on November 25 2009 @ 11:28 pm

by vitruvian8807 , on November 26 2009 @ 1:14 am

Really cool, but then again it was made by the creator of T9, so even cooler.
by NineSecondGTI , on November 26 2009 @ 1:42 am

Relax. I posted a comment on Windows 7 too! I even posted a video response showing what a regular person types like on an iPhone. The low rating is because the test is not a fair comparison, not because the iPhone is inherently better at everything. Search “Swype is faster?” to see my reply

The guy typing on that iPhone was typing unnaturally slow. It took him 53 seconds in the video to type the paragraph. I’m an average iPhone user, and I can type that same paragraph with no errors (or correcting any errors that occur) in under 25 seconds (read: 2x as fast).

by chanmo1234 , on November 26 2009 @ 9:38 am

oh shut the fuck up.. swype just doesnt look easy at all, and the guy looks like he knows EXACTLY what hes doing. right when he starts, he doesnt stop.

do you really think its that hard to learn? give it a day or two and im sure anyone could get it. there have been harder things to learn

As an old palm user i can say human are faster than computer and learn easily. I was able to use the palm special script writing faster than on nay actual phone, so I think we can learn this new way to type very fast and easily too…
by weehooherod , on November 26 2009 @ 11:35 pm

The funny thing is is that this is available for the iPhone. Another reason to jailbreak.

by alabamawhizkid , on November 27 2009 @ 6:04 pm

yeah.. iphone users with no rooted or non hacked iphones should be jealous.. word on the street it that swype is coming to android early next year.. but, since apple doesnt seem to be able to remove the corporate stick that’s wedged firmly up their ass, it wont be available on normal iphones.. hehehe this makes my day..

Tht wz so slow! The iPhone user wz typing really slow. I mean on the iPhone I can type at least 10 word in 5 seconds or less so thts pretty fast but the other phone wz really slow. I don’t like the other phone @ all…iPhone rox!

by voloshyn , on November 28 2009 @ 12:34 pm

I don’t think that’s faster. In this video the phone is used like a keyboard, but imaging you are going somewhere and typing like ppl usually do, what gestures you will get then on your keyboard? chaotic? Your steppes will move finger, maybe I got something wrong but if you have to hold your finger on the screen whole word to type it then it suck…
by d3vilh , on November 28 2009 @ 12:57 pm

Idiot. This in no way is a threat to the iPhone. It’s not revolutionary nor is it new. Like I said, you can already get this in the app store. So what? It’s sold to OEM’s? It’s now suddenly the biggest breakthrough in technological history? If it’s already compatible with the iPhone, you haven’t done anything. Game changer my ass. Wanna know a game changer? iPhone. Period. When they actually come out with a phone that is in every way better than the iPhone, then we’ll talk. Fail.

This shouldn’t be iPhone vs. Swype it should just be Swype vs. Standard Virtual Keyboard. The iPhone keyboard is really no different from any other smartphone with a capacitive display.
by matthewjacob , on November 30 2009 @ 1:57 pm

I tested my timing on my iPhone and beat Swype by about 20 seconds.
by fsfaith , on November 30 2009 @ 2:08 pm

me too
by Pifman , on November 30 2009 @ 5:16 pm

That’s not true 11olimar1092, the iPhone has a “smart” predictive text feature that auto-corrects words based on where your finger hit on the keyboard. For example typing the words “samd” and “saod” produce 2 different words, even though they are both one letter off from a real word. Same letter too. The first guesses “sand” because the m is next to the n. The second guesses “said” because the o is next to the i. It’s a very nice and why the iPhone is so good at auto-correction.
by AVA3272 , on November 30 2009 @ 6:00 pm

the iphone typer is terrible. i was faster than that on my first day. :-/Terrible comparison, and i personalty guarantee that i could type faster than ANYONE using this swipe bullshit. nice idea guys, cant wait for it to fail.
by johnnyhowey , on November 30 2009 @ 6:23 pm

dude I can type way faster on iphone than that guy…. but regardless swype is still pretty impressive I like it!! maybe I can type even faster!
by gregoryaparker , on December 1 2009 @ 1:38 am

Notice all the comments from iClone users? Seems like you are all mad because now you realize you made a mistake in hardware but a normal person could have told you that having a phone that you think makes you look good doesn’t mean a thing when you have to actually use it.
by israelgaribaldi , on December 1 2009 @ 4:20 am

thats pretty cool, to bad Apple can easy copy that idea, and there, thats done with.
by ohlee93 , on December 1 2009 @ 4:26 am

by TheRedEyedGirl , on December 1 2009 @ 10:21 am

The iPhone person’s so suck at typing! And he even typed wrongly and had to delete and retype! And what more. Even if you can type faster using that phone it’s only the typing that’s better that iPhone. What abt the rest?
by humanetwork , on December 1 2009 @ 10:37 am

Swype FTW, go garbage ur IPHONE
by Natebpayne , on December 1 2009 @ 10:45 am

Stupid video. I can type twice as fast as that guy on the iPhone. Plus the iPhone has landscape mode to make typing even faster.
by randymarsden , on December 1 2009 @ 3:14 pm

Surf the web and you’ll find the number one usability complaint about the iPhone is text input. Of course there are people who text a lot on the iPhone who can go really fast. But an average user looks about like the person in this video. All you blazing texters / naysayers on the iPhone: imagine taking those well-developed skills and applying them to Swype. The fact that you are still going letter to letter but don’t have to lift and set down your finger every time means FASTER. Try it.
by zorat321 , on December 1 2009 @ 4:49 pm

You can se that the iPhone guy write SO! Slow meanwhile the other guy write fast….
by jreny , on December 1 2009 @ 7:29 pm

Ridiculous. I sell both these phones and the responsiveness of the iPhone is unparalleled. Also my mom types faster than that iPhone guy. Omnia 1 was a complete fail and 2 is not much of an improvement. Awkward OS, weird touch response (although better than the 1st ed). Oh ya, it took me 45 minutes to type this on my iPhone……..
by Kingamador , on December 1 2009 @ 8:02 pm

this guy is high the guy on the left must be retarted cuz no one types that slow. the iphone is the most responsive phone out there.. nothing will be close untillll apple comes out with somethin else. all these other touch screens are crappy and laggy and look good on commercials
by 11olimar1092 , on December 2 2009 @ 10:17 pm

@PifmanI’m not sure what your talking about I never said it didn’t have a good auto correct system. If you are referring to my comment about it being just like any other virtual keyboard, it pretty much is.I tried your examples in my Droid it does the same exact thing and brought up the same suggestions…hence my point that iPhone keyboard is the same as any other virtual keyboard with capacitive display(responsiveness).
by xsplice , on December 3 2009 @ 1:20 am

fuck iphone
by winniekepala , on December 3 2009 @ 3:42 am

This is cool. I’m already having problems with the current capacitive touchscreen. Can’t imagine having to get used to swiping text entry.However, I believe that the expert iPhone users can type faster that the guy on this comparison. Then again, anything that puts the iPhone to shame is always a winner in my books!!!
by Pifman , on December 3 2009 @ 7:53 am

I stand corrected. I know the Droid (and several other “smart” phones) have borrowed features from the iPhone, but I didn’t know some used the smart auto-correct too. It’s at least good to know they’re paying attention to detail.As far as this “swyping” way of typing. I think it’s a neat idea, and does seem pretty fast. I just don’t see anyone over the age of 25 figuring that out on their own or seeing it as intuitive.
by payup8 , on December 3 2009 @ 9:00 pm

Finished typing same thing on iPhone @ 0.46 without trying hard – 10 seconds faster than swype demo.

I just got my omnia 2 and the swype texting is fucken fast!!! no way in hell the iphone beats it.and its so responsive.iam not saying iphone sucks but the swype does kick its ass.iam just getting it down and I beat my friends iphone.just when I think I missed the spelling it got it right on.I wrote all this on swype mode.and my friends iphone didn’t match it.ill do a video to prove it and he texts real fast.overall the phone is real fast and real responsive.and lets not forgot the amoled display

by parillo400 , on December 7 2009 @ 6:12 pm

smart auto correct was out before the iphone…. im not saying the iphone isn’t good but people tend to forget how many windows smart phone’s were out before it, the iphone is basically a large collection of ideas from other phones not so much what most people consider it as. i have had an iphone and several android phones and i personally dont like the simplicity of the iphone i like being able to go in depth with my electronics

by weehooherod , on December 10 2009 @ 4:25 pm

Swype has been out for the iPhone for years. Plus the iPhone has a capacitive multi-touch screen. So don’t go around making bold statements until you get your facts right.
by eg0voruhk , on December 10 2009 @ 9:25 pm

Really? Can you link to it, because I just went to their site, and it said nothing about the iPhone. It did however say it launched on the Omnia II. When something normally launches, it didn’t used to be availble. Especially not “for years”

by weehooherod , on December 16 2009 @ 11:30 pm

I’m not jealous of anything. I not only have swype on my iPod Touch but I also have it on my Touch Pro. I’m just saying that its ironic that Swype is bashing the iPhone with this keyboard comparison video when yet again the iPhone had already come out with the software first.
by CaptainAshra , on December 17 2009 @ 5:48 pm

@weehooherod i find it funny that it was so quick to see a .cab extracted from the omnia 2 and now its widely available for download to every winmo phone and its even being made for android. its pretty stupid to try and use a single feature to bash another product….

Well for all you iphone users saying u have the best touchscreen response and best touch keyboard well you are all sooooo wrong the iphone reign has ended looooong ago i have swype on my htc hd2 (capacitive touchscreen) and it beats the hell out of the iphone crappy keyboard and i won’t even comment on the response of it so beat tht!!! Iphone sucks big time!!!
by budbluhm , on December 28 2009 @ 2:01 pm

@Kbrlite it’s incredible. it can get very long and comlicated words no problem. its not the best for short words or messages, but writing long paragraphs becomes amazingly easy. i live in seattle and my dad knows the guy who invented it. hes now working on getting it on alot more phones on verizon and at&t.
by Kbrlite , on December 28 2009 @ 3:07 pm

dude ur getting me excited…believe me when i say im very open to new ideas like this and i kinda see how this would work…but ill believe it when i play with it myself…i guess for the iphone, it will make an appearance on jailbroken devices first?

@DrGnRIDER112 race the video and tell me if you win, i think i am a faster swype typer than this swype person,i ‘ve gotten really good at it with the droid. overall though swype is pretty sweet
by DrGnRIDER112 , on January 1 2010 @ 10:02 pm

if your faster than this swipe person obviously you would beat me then since i stated i WAS just as fast
by kd7gkn , on January 2 2010 @ 12:25 am

I can type 3 times that fast on even the droid onscreen keyboard. Probably faster on the iphone. Swype is cool and i’ve been using it the last few days. I’m already faster than this guy with it but basically everyone i know can beat me with any other keyboard. Not convinced its the new cool thing.
by kymmirox , on January 4 2010 @ 10:40 pm

lol. This is all Verizon Droid has.Yawns. Nothing surpasses the Iphone.Nothing.

It’s expensive at first ($530) but then you can get the Even More Plus plan from T-Mobile that gives you 500 minutes, unlimited text/pic/video/IM messaging and unlimited 3G (which is actually full 7.2 Mbps 3G now) for $60 a month with no contract. The savings will show itself within a year.

by ackabr , on February 1 2010 @ 6:58 pm

Obviously it depends on how the user is used to the prog. An iphone user can definitely type fast than that. Furthermore with the auto correction, typing on the iphone is definitely faster. However kudos to swype as i think they have def created an alternative ‘text input prog’.
by remidalverer , on February 11 2010 @ 11:56 pm

Yes but on Swype guy is typing with one hand, and on Iphone two hands – why don’t you see that?
by emotoiletfish , on February 15 2010 @ 7:15 am

but then a user used to swype can also type alot quicker than that
by ThaPaperTrail , on February 17 2010 @ 7:44 pm

yea and I’m sure an experienced swype user could also in turn go faster
by redtide08 , on February 20 2010 @ 8:50 am

I just dropped the beta of Swype onto my phone and I’m very pleased with it. I don’t think it’s faster than typing with two hands, but I can approach 2-hand speed with one hand. It’s also spot on with word recognition. Don’t knock it until you try it.
by Central90210 , on February 21 2010 @ 10:56 am

the test is biased.. you normally type a lot quicker on the iphone.. plus u can double-tap the space bar for period..
by JoaoVitorDuarte , on February 22 2010 @ 3:41 pm

i didn’t understand this kind of thing named Swype. You could be more objective and explain more about this feature.

pretty sure I typed this a lot faster than I swiped it. From my iPhone
by drummcycle , on February 24 2010 @ 12:52 pm

you have been typing for how long? and swyping for how long. 1st typing touching on your screen VS swyping is what you’d want to compare you damn slow bro.
by drummcycle , on February 24 2010 @ 12:53 pm

After using Swype for 3 days I’m a pro and i fast about 3x faster than before with fewer errors its amaz!ng!
by 3759km , on February 27 2010 @ 2:01 am

I like this.Unlike apple fanboys, I am impartial, so I could notice that the point of this video is to show a new way to type using one hand..It is not mean to be a contest..Otherwise you would read “phone vs. phone” or “app vs. app” on title..It is a comparison between swype typing and regular typing styles, that’s it..Altough I never used it looks awesome.Sorry for my bad english.

by DanTheGreekHellas , on March 24 2010 @ 9:47 pm

first of all this is really bagging on the iphone. that guy cant type for shit on the iphone. i have an iphone and type at least twice as fast as him. second he.s going into the symbols keyboard for a period every time when all he has to do is hit the space bar twice. so you got to cut at least half of that time off the difference
by realisticHomeboy , on March 25 2010 @ 2:05 am

How can you type with such latency? Swype doesn’t show anything until a second after you are done typing the word. That’s a really crappy way of doing it. It should show something.
by shoogeea , on March 26 2010 @ 9:26 pm

sombody needs to make a swype thing for iphone in cydia or sumthing cuz i would really like to have that on my iphone it looks awesome if they do make one or they already have one could sombody inform me plz Thanks Shoogeea

@playoffplaya thtat swipe is bull iphone keyboard is much better dude u cant type
by babyblueg4o9 , on April 2 2010 @ 2:30 pm

@realisticHomeboy It’s not Swype that’s causing it to lag. It’s the phone itself. Just like on the phones with the regular texting, some phones like the iPhone 3GS are very fast, whereas phones like that HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) when you start typing fast it lags, I’ve had both, I know. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone. I would like to have this Swype feature on it though. In the end it still depends on the phone speed and the texter to see who texts faster.
by babyblueg4o9 , on April 2 2010 @ 2:32 pm

@babyblueg4o9 when I said “that HTC” I meant to say “the HTC,” sorry.
by realisticHomeboy , on April 2 2010 @ 3:09 pm

@babyblueg4o9 It’s not relevant what causes the latency. It’s there, it’s real and the user has to experience it.

by babyblueg4o9 , on April 4 2010 @ 4:37 pm

@realisticHomeboy I’m just pointing out that it’s probably lagging because of the phone, since you were saying “How can you type with such latency? Swype doesn’t show anything until a second after you are done typing the word.” So just pointing out that it may not be swype causing the lag, as opposed to what that part of your comment was implying.And btw I am not trying to argue with you, so don’t get mad or anything (don’t know if you are or not).

So fucking dumb… that iphone kid is typing sooo slow… the system has nothing to do with this comparison, it has to do with the user effort. Give me a break… this is a joke…. Not to mention that the buggyness of android OS’s is going to more than make up for any ground they cover… iphone > android.
by armin956 , on April 5 2010 @ 9:27 pm

@negativeapm lol, keep using your locked up OS, im pretty sure you have never used a phone with android, there are endless possibilities with the android, you can edit anything, boot screen, keyboard, ANYTHING! i had been an iphone user since launch and i admit i was pretty much like you before i bought a droid and realized i could literally do anything on it. You don’t understand the phone until you use it so don’t be so confident on “iphone > Android”
by Fredsterz01 , on April 6 2010 @ 2:28 pm

by beartone4life , on April 7 2010 @ 6:22 pm

as everyone else is smart enough to notice, the iphone guy sucks. I did the exact test along with the swipe guy and finished 7 seconds before he did on my first try. So maybe you shouldnt be comparing with an iphone using….”versus” and the show “finished” when its obviously not a fair comparison.
by maddtekk , on April 8 2010 @ 8:16 pm

@armin956 actually I have hade a mytouch, a G1, and I even tried out the nexus one the “famed iphone killer” and I will admit it was nice to be able to drag widgets and customize shit, but its like while android allows quantity of interfaces, the iphone offers one quality interface. Meaning all my android phoens and friends android phones are buggy the keyboards are weak, and my iphone while having a limited customization, which is not really the case now because its unlocked, perfroms better.
by norton5315 , on April 10 2010 @ 10:42 pm

You can just tap the space on the iPhone twice to get a period, so you don’t have to open the other symbols menu thing

i have the htc hero graphite… and all i have to say. is it merks the i phone. bye.
by CrazyAlkyGT , on April 12 2010 @ 8:49 am

maybe swype wasn’t meant for a iphone user that can type fast. Maybe its more for some one like me that can’t type fast. I also understand that alot of people love their iphones but don’t take this video so personal. The only reason the iphone was used in comparison is because its hailed as having one of the best on-screen qwerty keyboards in market. iphone users should take this more as a compliment.
by TheCrosscreation , on April 13 2010 @ 3:29 pm

@maddtekk and what if your anywhere with noise? Bus, subway?
by craiger017 , on April 14 2010 @ 10:14 am

its an unfair comparison…..I understand they’re trying to show how easy it is to use their keyboard, after you get good at this you can go really fast, etc, but they make the iPhone look like its slow. Also, iPhone, as well as BlackBerry’s, can push space twice to get a period instead of opening up a separate menu for their symbols. The people who made this are just trying to make the iPhone look harder to use to the people that have no idea how the technology of phones is going.
by ItialianMonkie , on April 14 2010 @ 5:50 pm

Ha, i went along with Swype on my blackberry curve and had 16 seconds to spare. In my opinion, touch keyboards are a joke.

by xskull33x , on April 17 2010 @ 6:14 am

i had a trial of swype on my droid. it was awesome. pissed that it expired. its really beautiful tho. i used it all the time in portrait while driving. Since everyone knows where keys are on a keyboard and this is a qwerty layout, i could just rub my thumb where i thought the keys were without looking at my phone at all. the beauty of swype is as long as you are close to the right letters for most of the letters it still guesses what you meant.
by xskull33x , on April 17 2010 @ 6:15 am

@xskull33x for clairfication id say it was 98% percent accurate when i never even looked at the phone keyboard. When I was looking at my phone and typing 99.8%.
by davito92 , on April 18 2010 @ 7:13 pm

I think the main thing is comparing how Swype uses one hand vs the 2 hands on the iPhone, even though with 2 hands u can type much faster than the guy on the video. For one handed use, it looks pretty good.
by csos95 , on April 19 2010 @ 5:45 pm

Sorry, but the iPhone typer is horrendously slow. Such a bad way to demonstrate a new technology when it’s not based on real world input. People with iPhones typically (not in every case) type much faster than that. I know I do.

by nielrenned , on April 20 2010 @ 5:43 pm

I tried this on my iPhone and was able to type much faster than the Swype user in both portrait and landscape mode. Even using one finger on the iPhone I was only seconds behind the Swype user. I even made mistakes and corrected them like the Swype user. This video shows nothing.Although, I do agree with some people. If you are well experienced with Swype you will probably end up typing faster… with one hand. iPhone with two hands still wins because people are used to conventional keyboards.

Its easy to compare someone who is typing on iPhone for the first time with someone who is advanced with Swype i guess……… GZ….. not.
by patelkedar , on May 29 2010 @ 12:21 am

The thing that is great is having options.

So glad I can put 3-4 different virtual keyboards on the new HTC Evo that I’m getting.
And I can always use the voice to text input too.
by Sonneybouy , on May 31 2010 @ 5:03 pm

Predictive texting is still by far the fastest.
by TheCartneysTV , on June 1 2010 @ 7:53 pm

Swype user is slow.. that’s all. Lol.
by Dilekz , on June 4 2010 @ 7:52 am

They are both fucking slow…
by Dilekz , on June 4 2010 @ 7:57 am

They are both slow, my friend can type very very fast on the iphone. But i think when you have mastered swype, you can even type faster.
by dwyerbrent , on June 5 2010 @ 9:21 am

Swype pwn’s. lol @ iphone users.
by LordViczerez , on June 16 2010 @ 3:36 am

Who actually inputs text on an iPhone like that on a flat surface. Of course it took all day.
by LukeHandle , on June 16 2010 @ 2:14 pm

Multi-Tap ftw.
by LukeHandle , on June 16 2010 @ 2:14 pm

Multi-Tap ftw.
by jelloh7 , on June 16 2010 @ 10:04 pm

well keep in mind the swype guy is only using one hand as well…
by justin11213 , on June 16 2010 @ 11:57 pm

You can turn the iPhone sideways and it’s much easier and faster. That dude was wicked slow
by ecarromeana , on June 17 2010 @ 5:22 pm

qwerty is faster.
by FelluRan , on June 18 2010 @ 8:51 am

@ecarromeana swype is a qwerty keyboard..
by mrsquestionmarks , on June 18 2010 @ 1:23 pm

@TechWolf769
Personally,my favorite feature for the new iPhone would probably be higher resolution display and the noise cancelling

A lot of people Reading this comment simply can’t purchase the iPhone 4g, since it will be almost 500 bucks
Lucky for you I discovered on Apples twitter last week they are giving away a ton of iphone 4gs. Save ya some time, this is the link to Apples contest page copy and paste

At about 38 or 39 seconds the left side of the video blips a for a portion of a second. It’s edited and I’d like to know why.
by fr1ez , on June 19 2010 @ 11:30 pm

Coming from someone who types 80wpm on a keyboard and relatively new to the mobile keyboards, swype is faster.
by calypso99 , on June 20 2010 @ 1:43 am

much faster, so what. bottem line, Its still an iPhone.
by sohan86s , on June 20 2010 @ 2:27 am

both users are slow, but the iphone user is RIDICULOUSLY slow. i use to have an iphone and could type pretty quickly on it, i’ve just got swype on my htc desire, but i can see swype over time being faster than typing on an iphone (which i think is personally the best device to type on). if it was htc desire -v- iphone just on typing, the iphone would win, but swype does give the advantage back to android phones.
by JustDoEt117 , on June 20 2010 @ 10:19 am

You can’t use two fingers with swype, and no matter how fast you swype your finger from the letter W to the letter O, two fingers, at fastest speed, will always be faster.
by gadgetboyj , on June 21 2010 @ 1:10 am

@glamisfanatic Some cool looking way of what, multitasking? I’m sure that some developers that work on jailbreak apps like multifl0w will make their apps compatible with Apple’s multitasking and then you can have it look cooler. And who said we’ll have to pay for the next one?

by kaitou55 , on June 21 2010 @ 2:32 pm

The new way just looks more fun to do than regular typing. Not saying it’s better but IMO, it does look funner. Always looking for new fun ways of texting. =D
by shanetherabbit , on June 21 2010 @ 3:31 pm

I just got Swype (it in open Beta right now for Android) – and it is awesome. A lot faster and more accurate than on screen keyboards especially on smaller screens. notice that you can do it one handed as well – rather than two thumbed.
by speyside712 , on June 21 2010 @ 11:14 pm

Iphone user is so slow… i timed myself typing on my palm pre and beat both of them with lots of time to spare… it took me 14 seconds to type the entire thing. physical keyboards are the way to go. (not to mention i was looking at my computer screen to see what words to type and not even looking at the phone keyboard…. easy).
by gqlovalova , on June 22 2010 @ 12:30 am

@speyside712 you must text all the time
by RawwInc , on June 22 2010 @ 1:22 am

ya the iphone guy’s just really slow i can text like at least 6 times faster than the iphone user.
by zmanKT , on June 22 2010 @ 2:27 am

the iphone user is slow and taking his time… swype guy was going at it tho.
by Welocy , on June 22 2010 @ 5:51 am

@Fredsterz01 Swype user is really slow too.. and the Omnia’s touchscreen is worse than the iPhone’s. Not a fair comparison.
by Welocy , on June 22 2010 @ 5:52 am

@JustDoEt117 How would you swype with 2 fingers? And you can tap on swype if you want.
by umair02302 , on June 23 2010 @ 10:54 am

by manjyoumethunder , on June 23 2010 @ 3:02 pm

by mgudhka , on June 24 2010 @ 2:38 pm

you fag u are just marketing swype. the asshole who is typing on the iphone is either a jerk or just typing slowly !!!
by pyro16689 , on June 24 2010 @ 3:01 pm

Swype is still alot faster then typing it out. Regardless if that guy was going slow or not. If your one of those people that say you can type faster then the iPhone guy then you would be able to Swype a hole lot faster too.
by carlosruizc1 , on June 24 2010 @ 3:53 pm

No me gustó para nada la escritura en el Iphone, pero esto podría ser la salvación..
by notknown , on June 24 2010 @ 6:25 pm

Every time I try to type this out on my phone’s (actual) keyboard, I always mess up at the “A new way to type,” because it’s a sentence fragment.
by luckinabox , on June 24 2010 @ 11:55 pm

Swype just looks unintuitive all the crazy motions you have to remember to make letters capitalize or create double letters. It is just a stupid gimmick
by yasin , on June 25 2010 @ 3:11 pm

lol, mdr, all the mistake on the Iphone, compare what you can compare, FAKE TEST !!!
by xtc340 , on June 25 2010 @ 3:53 pm

@luckinabox It’s a stupid gimmick that enables you to type faster and more accurately that takes only minutes to learn.

You should try it out. It’s naive to think that just putting a keyboard onto a touchscreen makes it the best input method. The guys at Swype have actually thought about the strengths and limitations of a touchscreen and designed for it. It’s why it’s better.
by iKammikins , on June 25 2010 @ 6:31 pm

i tried it and beat it.
by andrewmccarney , on June 25 2010 @ 9:39 pm

i did this on my iphone while this video was playing and i finished about 5 seconds faster than the swype phone.
by HumbertoNieblaWhat , on June 27 2010 @ 1:41 pm

i like swype, but its too slow on my HTC HD2 it takes forever to load!
by searchforthebackblec , on June 27 2010 @ 2:29 pm

swype is just a plagiarism of “WritePad” and “Shapewriter”.
these apps were already 2008 in the iphone appstore
by jv2k , on June 28 2010 @ 12:56 am

Tried this on my g1. I was faster than the swype phone, and I wasn’t looking.
by nathanisthefisher , on June 29 2010 @ 8:11 am

at around 0:39 seconds the video feed on the left (Swype) input flickers. It secretly covers up a mistake by the swype.

Anyone saying that they can beat the Swype is simply full of crap. Swype holds the world record for texting….that’s a fact, the rest is bull$hit
by Lastchild90 , on July 10 2010 @ 10:56 pm

@RandyD1234 The record for texting is a new category, so anyone could have taken it, even if they took like 15 minutes to type it out. They’re not going to going to hold the record long. My girlfriend could text what was said in that commercial faster than what that guy could on a querty. The point is: who cares how fast you can text on it? People will pick what they’re comfortable with. What really matters is what a phone can do, and so far the iPhone 4 can do tons more than the Omnia II.

by Lastchild90 , on July 10 2010 @ 11:02 pm

@UnF0cuS yea, but who wants to spend years perfecting a texting technique when new phones come out all the time? You don’t wanna get a new phone to have to take forever when you first use it. No one will care anyway, it’s a matter of a maybe 15 seconds difference according to this “demonstration”. If you showing off your ability to “swype” people will just think you’re an asshole. No one you’re talking to will care how fast you text as long as you text them back in a reasonable amount of time.

@Lastchild90 Thats not my fucking point, if you put someone who texted years with iphone, and texted years with swype, swype guy would win plus why wouldn’t swype be better, you don’t have to swype with it? thats just an option

by d14ca , on July 13 2010 @ 11:41 am

@Lastchild90 I dont know how to start off by replying to you but as soon as “RandyD” noted that this type of texting holds the record for the fastest texting EVER what more does he have to say? it’s not that no one tried with the iphone to break that record im sure they have but it’s just not as fast as “swype” and to say you dont wanna learn this and then get a new phone… the new phone will have it.. this is the future.. when the touch keypad came out there were some haters also just deal.
by Lastchild90 , on July 13 2010 @ 5:23 pm

@UnF0cuS My point is that a couple seconds of faster texting, regardless of the method, doesn’t equal a better phone. This phone’s whole ad campaign is based on how fast you can text on it. It doesn’t talk about anything else. If you guys wanna believe the hype, then buy the damn phone, and if you can’t master Swype well enough to beat or even keep up with querty keyboards or T9 by the time a better phone comes out, then you proved my point.
by Lastchild90 , on July 13 2010 @ 5:26 pm

@d14ca No one knows shit about what the future of technology will be. Unless you work for one of the providers then I don’t think that anything you say about what the “future” of phone technology is valid or intelligent. Just because one new gadget comes out doesn’t mean that it’s suddenly going to take off and become the new thing. If the public doesn’t like this phone, they will stop making it, and if they don’t like the swype, then they’ll drop it.
by Lastchild90 , on July 13 2010 @ 5:31 pm

@d14ca and just so you know, whole ad campaign for that phone is texting, and that’s it.
by UnF0cuS , on July 13 2010 @ 10:16 pm

@Lastchild90 You dumb ass I never said the phone was better, I said swype texting is better, fuck sakes.
by d14ca , on July 14 2010 @ 6:58 pm

@Lastchild90 LOL!! Just one phone? ummm no a lot of phones are already out and have been out with swype on them and now some of the smart phones are starting to do so. Just like the touch screen it spread like a virus now look mostly all the phones are coming out with some sort of touch screen or touch feature.. and im not talking about the phone were talking about “swype” its faster and better. Period.
by Lastchild90 , on July 15 2010 @ 1:05 am

@d14ca When did I say anything about “one phone”? Why don’t you read my comment thoroughly before you start your rebuttal asshole. Also, don’t use dumb analogies like “spread like a virus”. That doesn’t do anything to make you sound smarter. The reason a touch screen became popular is because a) it was a good idea and b) it was easier to do that using buttons.

@d14ca Swype being a better form of texting is (and this was my point from the start) a matter of opinion and preference. Who do you think the manufacturers are trying to appease? The consumers. If people don’t buy this phone or don’t like the swype texting, they will drop it. It doesn’t matter if it’s faster or not. The opinion of the public determines what products stay and what gets dropped. So, either the phone or swype, if it’s too hard for people, it will get dropped. PERIOD.

@UnF0cuS And my point is that swype being better is a matter of opinion. New technology doesn’t always equal better. People will pick what is comfortable for them. There is no better method. And besides, who the fuck cares which is faster than the other? Even by the fucking standards in this bias video, it’s by a margin of 15 seconds that the swype guy beats the iPhone. Does it really make a difference?

@UnF0cuS There are also things that you don’t consider cuz of the dumb commercial that is making you all think with your wallets rather than your heads. You can’t text on a swype phone without looking at it. That’s a nuisance. I can text whatever i want without looking at my phone once. Also, you can’t text on a swype you’re on a bumpy road in a car. And the thing people are overlooking most is that you’ll get tired from texting over and over with the swype method. It uses different muscles.

by Lastchild90 , on July 15 2010 @ 1:25 am

@UnF0cuS As a phone user and consumer, i just listed several things that fit under a category that in the end, matters most to consumers. PRACTICALITY. If the technique doesn’t work out better in every way compared to querty or T9, then the consumer will not desire it, and it will be dropped. Speed doesn’t matter. Whether or not it’s practical and useful does. So go right ahead, say it’s better. You have no proof that it is. It’s user preference.
by cherokeerage , on July 15 2010 @ 7:49 am

@Lastchild90 way to use your big boy words.

also, using your point of user preference to answer your own question, the person texting enough to want to get it done faster will want the input method to be faster…think before you post.
by Ish260 , on July 15 2010 @ 3:35 pm

He can’t even type properly on either one, especially iPhone. Swype must be for slow texters that need someone to hold their hand.

two that you cant swype without looking doesn´t mean you won´t learn to
so wats the point
by Lastchild90 , on July 15 2010 @ 5:47 pm

@cherokeerage Yea i know that. Don’t pretend that you made a valid point. I didn’t say people wouldn’t buy it. People will buy it because they want to text faster. But that’s all it’s good for. Other phones still beat it. So if people want a phone that can do more, or a phone that’s easier to use, they won’t buy it. You have to read everything that I wrote and take it all into consideration that I haven’t said anything false or without thinking. Those aren’t “big boy words” you asshole.

@cherokeerage The need to text 15 seconds faster is a compulsion among people who are tech junkies, have nothing better to do, made of money, or base themselves on their possessions. It’s like buying a brand new microwave because you only have to press one button to set it and your meal is ready 10 seconds faster. The cost vs benefit factor is completely inversed. So congrats to anyone who buys the phone. Well done. You’re just fueling the machine.

by aneyesky , on July 18 2010 @ 2:02 pm

Swype is cool technology for sure.But it’s the user more than it is the software to a point.We most likely all know girls who can type with one finger while not looking on a Razor,or 3GS whatever…so what is faster really mean? “studies show blah blah blah…” I think the market is far better with more choices,thanks to the new droid phones for years to come.You closeminded infants with your foul language,so offended by brand loyalty need to chill.As the choices remain strong;people will change
by stoopkitty2 , on July 18 2010 @ 7:54 pm

i can type muuucch much faster than that iphone typer is typing. he looks like he is trying to go slower. i havent tried swype yet, so i’m don’t wanna judge, but it looks like it will take a while to get used to and i can twice as fast as that swype typer just typing with two fingers on my iphone. and iphone autocorrect rocks, and now it has spell check too.

by postcock , on August 3 2010 @ 12:46 am

this is not FAIR…..SWYPE is Using one hand, but iphone use two hand…

SO UN- FAIR……

I wonder why people are getting so upset over this. It’s not like this is a phone defining feature. Plus, there are reports that swype may be coming to iPhone. So this whole argument is moot
by Kryptonyte53 , on August 4 2010 @ 7:32 pm

People are making too big a deal about this.. it is a competition between two very quick text inputs! I’m tired of reading “The iPhone guy sucks i can type 100 times faster.” What about the swype guy? He might not be very fast either? You dont see anyone defending him though.. typical iphone fanboys.

the iphone typer could be faster…
by raddpuppy70 , on August 6 2010 @ 2:30 pm

I want swype on my iPhone so bad, but the guy typing was slow and so was the guy on swype I can type way faster but I also downloaded shape writer (swype rip off) and it’s a good bit faster and I’m not even used to it yet
by johan3123 , on August 9 2010 @ 3:55 am

The iphone typer is slow as hell tho, 10 mins practice with the autocorrect feature and your twice as fast then that.

@TheCartneysTV
Swype is faster and easier one handed.
Two handed iphone allows faster input because you can’t swype with two fingers obviously.
How can you compare one finger with two…

@rydewnd2 the swype user is slow too
by magicsebi , on August 16 2010 @ 6:15 am

I write faster than that on my iPhone and not in English so there is no auto correct feature. Also, I find that typing on the horizontal keyboard is better sometimes. Swype looks like inaccurate crap. :/
by highflyer3 , on August 17 2010 @ 6:16 am

@magicsebi I thought it would be, but Swype is seriously so much faster and easier.

by Peeto87 , on August 19 2010 @ 1:54 am

@rydewnd2 Ummm…he is using Autocorrect. However he is shit. And it’s harder with vertical orientation.
by ElectroDestroyer1021 , on August 19 2010 @ 10:18 am

@Kryptonyte53 i can swype 3x faster than that swype guy….there happy
by YSPDJapan , on August 19 2010 @ 11:11 pm

I can one thumb type faster on my captivate.
by iyareatibabare , on August 20 2010 @ 12:45 am

all i can just say is… both phones are good and both will still have their negatives but swype still looking hot. its all down to ur own personal desire though isnt it? + the guy on swype must be pro too cos u jst dont get good overnight. on iphone, the touch screen sensitivity is also good. but since im a samsung fan (always have been) i would buy swype. so like i said… its ur own personal opinion init

by METTPUDEL , on August 25 2010 @ 1:39 am

@aleeshera777
no problem my friend.
you can type manually in swype too, once u have written a word in swype, it is saved so that you can swype “oooooookkkkkkkk” afterwards too.

…an iPhone 4 user just broke the world record for texting, beating a Swype keyboard…
by brokenang3el , on August 26 2010 @ 8:37 pm

I can type faster on a qwerty keyboard or even on a 1-9 keyboard without t9 :/ Still, cool though I guess. Innovation ftw

by iRodMyiPod , on August 30 2010 @ 3:54 am

Rather than wage war over which is better, wouldn’t it be nice to have the option of having Swype on the iPhone? That way you could try it for yourself — which is what I would like to be able to do — and see which one is easier and faster for you. I do a lot of typing on my iPhone’s virtual keyboard, but my big thumbs and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage to my hands/fingers) contribute to my making a lot of mistakes that not even the iPhone’s wonderful auto-correct feature can cope with.
by tituss1992 , on August 30 2010 @ 6:04 pm

@equitek “an iPhone 4 user?” what is that…..like only one person…..lol…..
by joshdance , on September 2 2010 @ 5:07 pm

Please…. That is the slowest iPhone typist I’ve ever seen. If you’re comparing, why not compare with someone who has actually used the iphone keyboard?
by gabriellovesmusic , on September 2 2010 @ 10:07 pm

the typer on the iPhone is wayyy to slow!(and no i aint no fan of anyone but just being honest) but anyways back to the topic i don’t get the swype feature why is it so popular? i have an iPhone and a N97(but N97 recently got it though) neither one of them have swype texting but really by looking at all these demonstration video…i prefer the iPhone standard typing and the standard and quick typing on physical keyboard of N97..way more practical..but it’s just my opinion=)
