You had to go out of way to access a broader selection of features for your phone which your manufacturer strongly frowns upon, and tries to prevent to do it, your point is invalid-er.
Afzal said iOS doesn't have swype. Zango pointed out it can. Zango's point is in no way invalid, Afzal's point is.

Sorry, that's not the "official" Swype. It wasn't even made by the Swype developers. It's not the same.
My point is still valid. Swype is a product name and not a generic term for all keyboards that using finger-swiping. It doesn't have a lot of the key features that make Swype so brilliant.

Does iOS even have Live Wallpapers?
And I doubt anyone actually uses Swype...its a pretty slow way to type.
HTC phones have the best looking theme hands down. It is the most common theme downloaded onto the iPhone and other Android phones. (i.e. flipclock/weather widget).
OMFG, the wallpaper joke was sarcasm, I don't give a rats ass about how amazing my wallpaper looks. You completely missed the point!
Yes HTC/Android has better theme without a doubt but at the end of the day that does not matter to everyone. Yes it may to you or to the next techie even I love the themes that is why i Jailbreak my phone but to the general public all they care about is a good working stable phone. At the end of the day its preference, there is no better phone. Get over it.

Sorry but I don't get the concept of swipe, I am sure you must find it very useful. but would it be faster to type with two hands rather than drag one finger around? Educate me if I am wrong

I hate swype (Tried playing with it on Afzal's phone), but it's apparently a really fast way to type

There is a certain learning curve BJ, plus you need to know how to spell the words before swyping :p
Way to put a nearly 1.5 year old video btw.

K stop with the beta thing, it doesnt make a difference Siri is still in beta aswell.
Either way I dont know why he is so passionate about swype, its like that is the only thign Android has to offer... I know it has better points so stop talking so much about swype, its a preference and no one here cares about saving a few seconds swyping.
Ever since i got my 4s tbh, my phone is always in my pocket with my headphones on and just get Siri to do stuff for me.
