Here’s How To Download Swype On The Nokia N8
The Nokia C7 has been blessed with Swype officially. The application is available for the download via the Ovi Store and since the C7 is also a Symbian^3 device, just like the N8, the same version also works on it. So how do you go about downloading it? Simple, fool the Ovi Store into thinking you have a C7. Just visit this Ovi Store link, manually change your device to the C7, hit the send to mobile button. Open the text message that you receive on the your mobile and download Swype. Easy.
Swype installed on the Nokia N8.
What are the disadvantages? There’s no portrait keyboard, so you can only Swype in landscape. So if you can’t wait for Swype on your shiny N8, here’s how to get it. Otherwise, wait for the official N8 version, it cannot be far.

Excellent to see. However:
What the? Swype on the N97 mini had a portrait mode, isn’t the C7 slightly wider?
You’re right. Infact, the C7 has a screen similar to the N8′s size. I wonder why there’s no portrait option.. We’ll probably have to wait for an update.

How is one suppose step-by-step install this app on the N8? I can’t to get it to work, unfortunately.
I’ve installed on the E:. Then I opened the Swype app and went through the settings. After which, I rebooted the phone as instructed. I then opened Notes to test Swype, but when in landscape mode no qwerty Nokia’s or Swype’s would pop up.

[...] Typing on the N8 – Since the Nokia N8 does not have a physical Keyboard only way to Type would be using the Virtual Keyboard. As you can see from the pictures above, you can have a full QWERTY keyboard on the landscape mode. It is very easy to use the virtual keyboard on the landscape mode. Always being used to have a physical QWERTY, it took us a while to get used to it. Once you are used to it, typing becomes quite fast. Today I read in a blog that SWYPE is coming to N8 as well. SWYPE is the new technology in Mobile Typing. Check it out here. [...]
