I'll have to wait to get home to be able to watch the demo ... sounds like a pretty neat concept.

The phone comes out of the box with swype, I mentioned this on the LAST Omnia 2 article that phone arena posted about how I thought it was cool and worked really really well. But the phone is sluggish and it takes it a second to drop the letters or words... so you can make a mistake or go slow if your waiting for it to drop on the screen. You have to just keep going and hope for the best and trust it.

i have tried the swype on the omnia II, great feature... the only down side is that it does put a space after the word is selected... so you have to go down and hit space then continue with swype...

It is more than 2 years that a similar keyboard called SlideIT is already available for download.http://mobiletextinput.com/

It looks pretty good just somthing you have to get used too... and im sure its not going to be perfect right when it comes out. They prob will have an update sometime in the future to fix its kinks.
