I like Swype, and continued using it on Android in preference to other swipey keyboards. But the glory of it initially was that it made it possible to go fast on much smaller screens. I first used it very happily on a Nokia 700 (Symbian Belle phone) with a 3.2" screen that can't have been more than 4cm wide. I briefly hoped that swipe typing would become popular enough to stall the trend for bigger and bigger screens on phones, or at least make it economic for some manufacturers to provide at least one small phone. But it seems like the opposite happened, huge screens were popular enough to make swiping pointless for most people.
