So for me, swype is of no use.

Hmm. Was this in English, or another language? I've only used Swype on N9 in English and I found the experience mostly very pleasing. One or two words consistently guessed wrong, but other than that it was (for me at least) a fast and accurate way to input text: both prose and more demanding stuff like passwords.

...and even if you don't like Swype, I don't see how hunt-and-peck is a good alternative, but then it's all about the user experience and that's very subjective
