I have never been able to type with my thumbs. I thought that your thumb
would be to big for the keys although I know sited people does it like that.
Maybe I must try it.

Hi Noni,
In my opinion, it's simply a matter of getting used to the keyboard. Many
sighted folks look at the keyboard of their ordinary computer, yet people
like us are testament to the fact that tactile familiarity is really the
only necessity for effective typing. The same goes for the qwerty
keyboard.
In my case, it took me a few weeks to get used to the keyboard on my E71.
The keys felt small, and I wasn't at all used to either the size or the
layout. Factor in the foreign idea of typing exclusively with my thumbs
and
it all felt rather daunting. A year and a half on and I can now send texts
or emails just about as quickly as my sighted, blackberry-using friends.
I would suggest you take a look at someone's qwerty phone, either with
Talks on training mode or with a sighted person on hand to answer
questions
about specific key positions. I'm afraid it's really the only way to know
whether or not it's something you'll be able to get accustomed to.
Good luck,
Michelle

Dear QWERTY Keypad Users,
I note that many Talks users are using phones with full QWERTY keypad.
Without using vision, how do you manage to type at a reasonable speed? I
have spoken to many sighted persons who use full QWERTY keypad and they
all
confirm that they are looking at the keys when they type. So how do you
manage without visual feedback?
Thanks, Noni :)
