Barbara,
I've discovered other ways of holding it so be very experimental. My
most comfortable is to hold with thumbs and little fingers on either
side of the case, near to each end, and I find I can write both with

With the pod I prefer just to use thumbs
I do think that repetative strain etc may well be serious factors here
but, looking at the phone and having larger hands myself, I don't think
I could manage to position both hands straight across without the
fingers being pretty close.
I wonder if the dot positions could be, well, um, just a
Hi,
Also, try holding the phone against you whilst you type. This helps
to keep things more stable and your arms are also against you

Ok, let's think about this logically. Do you ever lay down on your back, fold
your hands across your chest or stomach, and interlock your fingers? I do. This

I have to disagree. It is quite comfortable to put your hands on your

I agree with everything David said below.
Also, others on the list have described a wide variety of ways to use
BrailleTouch. If the standard way of holding the phone in the User Guide
does not work for you, please play around with other ways.
I'll add a couple more. 1. Some people sit and

I too, would like a choice between Perkins style, and what it is now. I
understand if that can be done, or cannot be done I should say. But, if it can
be a choice that would be wonderful! Perhaps something in settings?
