The version of Swype installed in the latest firmware is a) old and b) has known bugs that are fixed in the latest version of Swype. I DO have a Swype beta key, but due to the way it is installed in the firmware I cannot install the latest beta version of Swype (it's installed in /SYSTEM/, which cannot be modified without rooting my phone and voiding my warranty).
If I were to take the phone into a Verizon store, would someone there be able to uninstall Swype for me without voiding my warranty? If not, when the Q3 Gingerbread update hits, will there be an option to install the update without installing Swype?
