I dont know how the storm could be considered “unreliable” the thing is super accurate and sure type only makes it so much better. ---

I just taught my iphone to swear. Just go create a new email, and type your favorite swear words a few times, making sure to cancel it’s auto-correction each time. After 2 or 3 times it learns the new curse words. No more “that’s ducking awesome” ---

there’s definitely a learning curve involved. i can type faster on my iphone than i could on my blackberry. however, i can’t type on my iphone and do something else like i could with my blackberry. typing a text requires my full attention typically or else it becomes a jumbled mess of letters. i could text on all my other phones without looking. ---

I have a Palm Centro and an Ipod touch that I use to take casual notes in class, I love the centro, the tiny qwerty keyboard is surprisingly easy to use despite my enormous thumbs, the ipod though is very eh for me, almost 50% of the time i hit the wrong button, landscape though is pretty reliable. Idk, I just hate the lack of real positive feedback, and don’t give me that shit about how the storm clicks, i need to feel the button there and feel it press in, with the click to reassure me it has been fully depressed ---

i got used to mine… it took a while though. i still miss the full keyboard but its not that big of a deal and to me, the smaller phone was nicer. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > In landscape mode I can type pretty damn fast on my iphone now that I’ve had it a while. There is a learning curve, and you have to watch your swearing because it auto-corrects a lot of swears to something else, but I don’t see how I’d be any faster on a similarly sized “real” keyboard. I’m ok in portrait mode but my giant man thumbs get in the way more. > > Still can’t touch how fast I type on a PC keyboard though. > [@Paulo](#): > > The amount of times I sent the work “duck” and “shot” is quite retarded. One time I it corrected something to “bunnies” and I came off as a fucking homo to the person I sent the text too. I can’t remember what word I was trying to put though lol. > > The more you X it out, the more it learns not to correct it, though.

As you probably know, for some strange reason, the iPhone won't really learn swear words. Fortunately, there's a solution. To fix this permanently just add a contact called “iPhone corrections” or something to that effect. Then add nicknames under that contact like “fuck fucker motherfucker” (all lowercase) etc… You can keep adding as the need presents itself. ---

> [@chino](#): > > the motorola q9m was the best “real” qwerty keyboard i had ever used (i had a blackberry 8830, htc6700), the blackberry storm touchscreen keyboard is just as fast as i was on the q9m, maybe even a little quicker with the auto spelling correct. i agree, the q9m’s keyboard felt like it was a gift from god for my hands, it was amazing. I hated to give it up but i love my storm now and i love the keyboard now even though i hated it at first. ---

500/day, 21/hour. Its possible, although youd need to be a tremendous multitasker, or have no life. ---

> [@SkunkApe](#): > > i have both on my phone. touchscreen and slideout. slideout is obv much faster when texting/email etc. i do however use the touchscreen quite a bit too. at times it will add a different letter in there, which is annoying, but i dont expect anything less. i did however install a different keyboard, which had the letters more spaced out, which helped. Same here… I could never deal with a fully touchscreen keyboard. ---

I got used to full touchscreen relatively quickly. Much better than my fatfinger T9 phone. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/touch-screen-keyboards-your-opinion/59972.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/touch-screen-keyboards-your-opinion/59972.md?page=3)
