Swype keyboard expands and is now available on Symbian^1

At this point, it's difficult to deny the kind of lightning quick speeds that some can attain if they're well versed at using the Swype keyboard. We've seen it being used to break world records when it comes down to typing on a mobile device countless of times, but thankfully the swipe friendly on-screen keyboard is expanding to devices running Symbian^1. The increasingly popular alternative form of inputting text is now available for download through Nokia Beta Labs – some of the devices supported include the Nokia 5800, Nokia 5230, Nokia X6, Nokia N97, and Nokia N97 mini. Although it supports English US, Spanish, Canadian French, and Brazilian Portuguese, the company behind Swype intends on branching out to even more languages in the next few months. For anyone new to its unorthodox method of inputting text, just expect a steep learning curve – but when you get a handle for it, the whole process will actually impress you.
