I don't think anyone does proper touch typing with the iPhone. Sighted people might have a go at it with their phones in landscape, but I can't imagine that being too enjoyable. As for me, I type with two fingers. I use one from each hand. Most people who type this way use two thumbs. I use my left index finger and my right thumb. Might sound a bit weird, but I like how I can almost hold the phone in one hand. Hope that helps. rose
