Gemmill 34730 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Go to beta.swype.com and get the swype keyboard. Then find the tips and tricks videos on youtube and never use a normal keyboard again. If you listen to podcasts then Doggcatcher is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I can't find Swype in the market. Has it been rebranded or summat? Using... Pulse as a news source Astro as a file manager Dolphin as a browser ChompSMS for my texts Advanced Task Killer to kill apps Need to get a better music player than the default, checking online Mixzing seems to be the player of choice. Anyone think otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
