Thumb thing* though*. Well this explains it how crappy it can get when you go real fast on it initially and if ignore the auto correct feature

Well it did take me time I could barely get used to the auto correct feature and yes I agree it is easier typing with one finger initially the two thins thing is what I wanted to always do but Ian still not good at it. Even Thoth it’s been like a week

I can type on my iPhone just as easily as I could with my blackberry bold. In fact I’m typing this on my iPhone right now and yes I am using my two thumbs.

5 days is totally arbitrary. I was typing away on my iphone from day 1. It’s been 5 months and I’m still gradually getting faster. What takes a little time is to getting used to the auto-correct feature and let it do it’s job. It’s not hard just don’t look at the results until you’re done. Sometimes it will guess the word so as you get better you might pay attention to the screen when a suggested change appears. I swear that the iPhone is learning my vocabullary because some names and words it didn’t auto complete before now work fine. It doesn’t really matter how fat your fingers are because the iPhone only cares wear the center of your finger is located. I’ve also read that the target area of the keys invisibly changes in anticipation of the most likely subsequent keystroke which gives the impression of increased user accuracy.

thats a silly comment… you had to adapt to typing fast on a standard keyboard when u first started typing… the fact that it’s a little diff. and requires learning is a terrible reason to reject what is clearly a huge technological breakthru in terms of what can be done with touchscreens… 5 days seems like a good deal

Well, I won’t accept that it needs five days until I can type on my phone. The thing has to adapt to me, not me to the thing.
