Letters are located in a qwerty layout as if on a regular keyboard on the iphone screen. With a little practice, you'll get faster at locating them. However, I still think it is slower than a tactile keypad.

The first difficulty is locating the keys. The order in which the letters are located isn't very clear and lack of a tactile key is definitely making learning slower. However, do you think it would take long for someone to learn it?

You can access almost everything with voiceover on 3gs. There could be some difficulties until you get used to the touch screen interface, but that's about it. As I mentioned before, typing could be a bit slow, but it should be possible to input short messages with the touch screen interface. Much like other screen readers, there is an in-build help is available to learn the screen navigation with voiceover. Vetri.
