Well, I really must agree with your last point about which braille version and making people spell; some of the worst speech mode writing errors appear here. What chance of a job with that level of spelling, and for sure it is still quicker than groping for the letter on the on'screen keyboard from before. A single consistent version would help the learning process no end, too.

I am now almost as fast onscreen as I am on the braille keyboard, and expect to be as fast shortly. The problem some people are having is quite possibly the same problem I still occasionally have when I use tabletop mode rather than away mode. In tabletop mode, I find that my single-finger flick is often to short, so it registers as a dot press rather than a space. In away mode, this happens much less frequently. In fact, in this message, which I am writing in away mode, not doing a long enough swipe has occurred six times. Note: I usually write in 6 dot mode rather than contracted braille mode. If computer braille was available on the iPhone, I would use it instead. I have come to the conclusion that, with electronic braille, we should be using computer braille, or grade 1 braille, as much as possible. This will improve our spelling, and bring us more inline with the vast, vast majority of sighted people.
