Option to switch between Swype and classic Qwerty

Suggestion for Swype 2.1 for Symbian

Hi, I have a suggestion :) I and a lot of users think that Swype is the best input mode in Portrait, but when the phone is in Landscape classic qwerty is much better than Swype becuase you can write with both left and right thumbs and that is much more faster than "swype" the long distances of the Landscape keyboard! So I ask you to add to settings an option that allows users to switch between Swype and classic Qwerty!
I imagine that:
"Use Swype in...
-only Portrait
-only Landscape
-both Portrait and Landascape"

In this way every user will be contented ;)
I hope that you hear me, because I'm shure that lots of people agree with me!
Good job,
Davide Scipione

I think it would be nice to offer something like the suggested options.
What we really need is a better integration with the OS here.
The main entering options are:
* Traditional Qwerty
* Swype
* T9-type input
* Handwriting recognition.
and give the user the ability to chose what to use in landscape and portrait independently.

What is most convenient I guess is strongly dependent on both screen-size, finger size and hand motorics of the individual user.

So this feature will be improved?

Who knows, we'll have to wait and see if anyone from Swype answer anything here. But to be honest, I think development for Symbian is not getting too high priority anywhere....
