With the impressive Nokia N8 now available to buy, and the Nokia C7 available for pre-order, developers are lining up to release new apps for the Symbian ^3 operating system. Swype is the latest set to appear, making it easier to type at speed. Join us after the cut to find out more...
Swype is an innovative app that's set to let you enter text on your touchscreen Nokia – the Nokia N8 and Nokia C7 in this case – using a new method.
Nokia N8 review: Keyboard, Texting, Emails
Instead of pressing the buttons individually, you swipe (geddit?) your finger across the keyboard in a single fluid motion, with speeds up up to 40 words a minute apparently achievable for most people.
Swype isn't a new app – it's been available for Symbian S60 5th Edition for a short while – but it's soon to be available for Symbian ^3. We're fans of the existing touchscreen keyboard on the Nokia N8, but we'll be trying out Swype soon, and letting you know how we get on.
