Iphone built in keyboard

What does everyone think to the touch screen keyboard? Me personally it sucks! With all the phones I've had this is the one I have mist.... (See typed most and my big thumb typed mist lol) typos with. Especially typing FOR. Every time it comes up as FIR...with old plastic keypads were better but I do know it would look silly on an iPhone lol.

You'll get use to it. I have big thumbs as well and I can type quick with minor errors

I like it. I tried a BlackBerry and thought the keyboard was terrible. When I first got my iPhone I couldn't hit the keys either, but after a short while I figured out that my finger actually touched to the right of the spot that I thought I was touching. I made a slight adjustment and in a couple of days I stopped thinking about the keyboard. These devices have a way of retraining us to their way of doing things. I have to admit though that I don't use two thumbs like a lot of people do. I just use my index finger on my right hand. Pretty good though.

Said moved to appropriate forum. Oops I didn't realise 

Anyways I don't use 2 hands or my index finder I use my right thumb. I suppose I'm still in a way of thinking old Nokia ways ha ha. I have learnt though by being on here if you double tap the space bar it makes a full stop. That's pretty cool. I suppose one day I'll get use to it, after all when we all first started texting it would take 3 data to type a few lines now we can do that in seconds. All comes with practice I reckon!

Days* not data..... See my point LOL

Yeah, that's sure true. I've learned that I've got to either watch closely as I type or else make sure that I go back and read what I've wrote before I send. If that "feature" still bothers you after a while you can always turn it off in Settings.
