the keypad.

Tips:

To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”), drag through the n as though it was an apostrophe.

To enter several symbols, touch SYM.

To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a small menu of other word options. Swype might also show a menu if it can’t guess your word.

If Swype doesn’t know a word, you can still touch the letter keys to enter it. Swype remembers, so next time you can just drag over the letters.

Multi-touch keyboard

Enter text a letter at a time. As you type, your phone suggests words from your dictionary and chosen language. Your phone also automatically enters apostrophes in some words, like “dont.”

This processing power was complemented by 512 MB of RAM, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously without significant lag.

One of the hallmark features of the DROID X was its 8-megapixel rear camera, which included capabilities such as autofocus, LED flash, and 720p video recording. This camera enabled users to capture high-quality images and videos, setting a standard for mobile photography at its release.
