Hello Karen, I have an Iphone 4S. I do use a hardware keyboard that attaches to the back of the phone , only slightly thickening it, yet giving me hardware tactile keys. When one gets used to the feel, it is designed for speed. It is called a keyboard buddy ase made by boxwave. The hardware keyboard slides in & out as needed. If you look in to this type of keyboard or a similar manufacturer, you won't be sorry. The unit slips over the back of the phone & is no longer than the phone, it is also bluetooth connected.

As much as I agree with all comments about how great the iPhone is, I feel that we need to try to answer the specific questions as much as possible. I am pretty sure you can use a Bluetooth keyboard to dial phone numbers, although I haven't done so. Also, remember that you can get cases with a keyboard attached so you aren't carrying two pieces of equipment. This will, of course, increase the size of the phone. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Matt Dierckens Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 11:59 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: If I really must get an iphone... Hello. The first question is true, using Siri, you can dial numbers, and send text messages is possible using your voice. I don't believe there is a keyboard scrictly for dialling, however. Hope this helped. On 2013-06-26, at 12:55 PM, Karen Lewellen <klewel...@shellworld.net> wrote: > Hi folks, > I do not want one truth be told.
