I'm a thumb typer, 100%. I hold the phone vertically with the screen facing my body, brace the back with my fingers and just let my thumbs do all the work on the keypad. I was taught this position by a sighted qwerty user, and now that I'm used to it it feels very natural and easy. The little raised dot in the "G" helps me orient myself in the keypad and Is utterly invaluable. I'm probably not as fast as Timothy, but can definitely hold my own.

Not sure where the habit developed, but hey. There you have it. As for predictive text, I never had it on, figuring that it was pointless. I type reasonably fast on my phone, and as there aren't multiple letters or punctuation assigned to a single button, it would probably be more of a hindrance than a help. I type around maybe three to four letters a second on my phone, so that should tell you how proficient I am on a QWERTY keyboard. _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list Talks@talksusers.com http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/ _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list Talks@talksusers.com http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/
