Swype is part of Touchwiz, if I'm not mistaken. Samsung-exclusive. Regarding virtual keyboards, the best I've ever seen (honestly) is the iPhone's. Apparently the Droid X has a FANTASTIC vk, but I personally haven't tried it. On another post I was mentioning the feeling of being a bit "left out" being a Maemo user, albeit a proud and happy one, from time to time. I saw this discussion on virtual keyboards and remembered this. It starts interesting, gets much more interesting in the end. Coming to Maemo/Meego? Probably not a chance. Also, someone mentioned here that the N9 screen is going to be resistive. Is that confirmed? I actually thought it was capacitive.
