Motorola Droid X Keyboards - Swype Tutorial/Overview

The Motorola Droid X exclusive for Verizon comes with two keyboards, the multitouch keyboard and Swype. I go over each one and a little more in-depth showing the basic functionalities of Swype.

hi, I just got my droid x and I was just woundering if u could tell me how I can switch from my white keyboard to the black one?

@BalisongWielder

Unfortunately with the 2.2 update that came out a few months ago, they changed the theme of the keyboard.

You can, however, search online on how to mod your keyboard theme, just google "droid x keyboard theme" and you can find instructions on how to change the themes on your keyboard. It is up to you though, if you want to do it since it requires some tampering with your phone that you might not feel comfortable doing.

I just received my DroidX. Is Swype already installed? If so, how do I find it? If not, hot do I get it?

@puppyanddoghelp

Swype is already installed. Long-press [hold and press finger down] on a text input field [where you can type text into] and select input method. you can choose swype from there. Feel free to configure swype with menu > settings > languages & keyboards on the home screen.

Great vid thank you very much. I'm still getting used to it on my droid. Unfortunately mine doesn't come with that nifty little Custom cursor thing that the droid X has. That magnifying window was awesome but I don't have it.

And yeah hardcore blackberry fans are gonna get on you about the "lazy cow" line. Me being one of them haha.
