Nokia IS one of Swype's sponsors though, so I expect to see it in MeeGo, but Maemo wise I'd say perish the thought, Nokia wouldn't do that much for us.

there are several threads on this topic and open tickets on swype website for support. as well there were several small talks of dev in twitter about maemo support, but nothing happened till now, so i would say swype devs don't really care. maybe meego would change the situation

Well we have a hardware keyboard so Swype is not that important but its pretty cool in action, if we didnt have it and this stupid vkb without any letters appearing (as in Opera's kb) than we were screwed

the vkb is quite useless to me. it has this weird "lag" to it that makes typing fast annoyingly painful.
as an alternative, maybe someone could ask shapewriter inc to do some work for our n900?

So dying platform is getting this really nice feature and we dont
I think PR 1.2 vkb is just horrible
who should we contact? (council maybe?) to get this thing working on N900
I don't disagree that the virtual keyboard is not terribly good, I really do like swype, keep in mind Nokia didn't make it, historically the company that did (swype inc) only ever sold it to manufacturers and carriers, never to end users.
There are a few old threads kicking around in which people have toyed with the idea of replacing the virtual keyboard, but none have really ever progressed very far on the N900 unfortunately.
Who should you contact? The best place you can get answers from is at the source: info@swypeinc.com
I miss good old HWR. This swype looks to be terribly slow way to input long words.

look for patent number 7,251,367 B2, filed Jul 31, 2007 (System and Method for Recognizing Word Patterns Based on a Virtual Keyboard Layout) and 7,453,439 B1, filed Nov 18, 2008 (System and Method for Continuous Stroke Word-Based Text Input).
good luck
