Hi, I definitely like it. If you're not familiar with an iphone, the trackpad is definitely a good assistant if you're planning to obtain one. It's probably just the positioning of your fingers, really. I haven't had an issue, but you have to be rather accurate with the gestures. Doesn't seem like a mistake to me.
