For anyone it may help, I want to share my experience on the typing aspect of the IPhone which have gotten really good over a short time. At first you have to trust what dozens of others have said although it won't seem like your experience at the time. Hang in there though because it gets really easy to do and I am talking about the typeing too! My fingers just really amazingly remember where the letters are and can pretty much strike the one I want just from muscle memory with about 95% accuracy I would guess. That is after roughly about 7 hours of any real typing on it. If you do not land on the right one, it does help a lot if you know the qwerty keyboard really well and what is on what row. Because if what you hear happens to be a row down or up, just move and then over. You won't be far off though after not much time of practice when you do miss it by any. For other things you really remember where they are too.
