Who knows, it might be pushed to the phone in a future update.

follow the instructions from 21stnow above. i don't believe you actually need an EVO copy. just go to their site and sign up. they email you the install file.

Go to www.swype.com and register for the beta group. You will receive an email that will have instructions for what you should do next.... that is what I did also, and had to enable install of non-market apps in order for it to work

I've ALREADY installed the beta version of Swype for Android phones; it does NOT work properly on the Thunderbolt when composing SMS messages. I was asking how to install an EVO specific version of the Swype keyboard (if that even exists) onto my Thunderbolt.

does anyone know the answer to this? i REALLY prefer swype, but i finally downloaded it to my tbolt and am having the same problems......no auto spacing between words in SMS messaging, which really makes it useless. it worked great on my incredible. so is there a way to get the EVO version?

install using a file manager like astro or email it to your gmail account and you should be able to open/install it.

Go to Settings>Language & Keyboard and make sure that Swype is checked.
Then go to a text field (i.e. in text messaging) and long press. Select Input Method, then select Swype.

Kelly, Skype (video calling and chat) and Swype (word-tracing keyboard) are two different apps. The OP was asking about Swype, not Skype. I get these two confused, too, when reading posts sometimes.

the only issue I have found is that Swype does not auto space in SMS text messages. It works perfectly in email and everywhere else. At least for me. I did search for Swype on the phone as I didn't know it wasn't there. I was sent to the market, downloaded it, and have been "Swype-ing" ever since! And nary a problem to report!

Bummer, went to the site downloaded it, did the tutorial, practiced on SMS, no space between words, sent a practice SMS all worked good except for the spaces. Tried it again and would not work. Uninstalled, redownloaded still did not work, swype keyboard did not even come up this time and the box was checked under manage applications. Uninstalled. That's ok I'm old and need the practice typing and I've got nothing else to do.
Thanks for the opportunity to try.

Go to the Android Market and download Handcent; it's a text messaging application that works WAY better than the stock Android text messaging application (and is WAY more customizable, too)!
Swype works perfectly with it; no problems with spaces between words at all.
