Hi Rob - where did you find that? I've an HTC One X and haven't seen that anywhere (and it won't read QR codes either!)

I opted for the android phone in part because, at the time, Verizon didn't support iPhones, and because the Droid 2 had a slide out mini keyboard. At the store I had tried typing on the screen of another android phone without keyboard and found it nearly impossible. At first I used the slide out keyboard on the D2, but it was cumbersome and slow. I eventually learned to manage fairly well typing on the screen but frequently had to backtrack to correct mistakes. A few weeks ago I became eligible for a phone upgrade, so I stopped in at the Verizon store and tried several phones. I found that the iPhone 5 was much easier to type on than any of the android phones. Don't know why, but it's easier to hit the right letter on the touch screen. Now, I can buzz along rather well, with a hunt and peck method and have found that I can even manage the two thumb technique. I will probably continue to practice that. Sending e-mail from the phone is important to my journalism work, so it's worth the effort. Old fartedom has at least been delayed. MY HTC Android phone has a quick calibration routine which once undertaken reduces erroneous keystrokes markedly. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
