Getting Swype Beta to run on a Sony Ericsson X10 from ATT

Side note: I hate AT&T. Why do they annoy their customers with loading junk software on their phones and blocking the ability to enable side-loading of applications from places other than the Andriod Market. Mind you, I'm just talking about the setting itself!

Anyway, the Swype BETA is difficult to install because of this for two reasons: not only do you need to install the installer via the Swype website, but then the installer downloads and installs the real Swype app to your phone. In other words, there are two install steps, both of which are blocked by the security settings on the AT&T crippled phone.

But I found this great workaround that gets past all the issues:

Happy Swyping
