I have a Droid Moto X. Swype was pre-installed, so I can't even uninstall it without rooting my phone.

I got an Android phone b/c I didn't want to be one of Steve's sheep, but given some of the comments here it's probably safer to be in his flock than not.



Perhaps you are thinking of Swiftkey. Swype is definitely not preinstalled on Moto X phones.


Maybe I misspoke, but are the Motorola Droid X and Moto X the same phone? If they are you may be mistaken per my experience (I cannot uninstall Swype, so I assume it was pre-installed) and per the wiki

On June 16, 2010, Swype opened a public beta for the Android operating system.[20] The Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy Note, Motorola Droid X, Motorola i1, and Motorola Droid 2 Android-based smartphones come with Swype pre-installed.

I think you did misspeak. The Motorola Droid X is a phone that came out in 2010. The Motorola Moto X is a phone that came out in 2013. There is no such phone as the "Droid Moto X."


Republic Wireless has a deal with them.
