Got Myself a HTC Desire, advice?

[rdfcpete]

Has anyone come across 'Swype' for Android?
This looks a fantastic app but I missed out on the BETA and its currently withdrawn as a download. Are there any apps that do a similar thing for Android?

Thanks.

some of my apps have gone Tits up, facebook wont update even though i refresh it and the ebay one is dodgy to.

The Android Facebook app is absolutely sh*te, no doubt about it.
The official eBay app is fine tho altho can sometimes be a little slow, but otherwise works spot on, have you got the official one of that other one thats on the market?

I've just got mine today and this is the first proper smartphone I've had(upgraded from a Nokia 5230)
 and I'm a little concerned about how hot it gets where the simcard goes.
Is this normal,or have I got a duff handset?

Battery makes it hot, I have a battery app that tells you the temperature and it goes up quite a lot.

I've got used to mine. Use it as a hand warmer in winter maybe?

My Tracks is good if you like walking.

Etherophone is a good one for getting on peoples' nerves (or your dog's if you have one!).

Alchemy is a good game, as is Winds Of Steel. Talking Tom is a bit of fun.

I sometimes use Opera Mini, too, as I'm on 3 and they don't let you look at anything they consider adult (sniffpetrol comes under this). Using Opera as an alternative browser gets around this annoyance.

For anyone that's seen Swype and liked the idea but missed it like me, or wants something free that does the same job, try SlideIT.

Excellent little app that does basically the same thing as Swype. It's maybe not quite as polished as Swype but it's an excellent free substitute

Virgin have just upgraded the software to my HTC, seems a bit faster and they have chucked in some other apps and upgraded the text function as well as letting you use the laptop via the htc connection.
