Hi. I don't have an E6, although I'd love one. However, I do, or used to, have most other qwerty phones Nokia have made. On my E5, E72 and E63, I type with one hand, using my index and the finger next to it. When sitting at a table or something, I use those two fingers on both hands to type quite quickly. I remember the layout as it's mostly normal qwerty.
Just as a point of interest, I tend to read Braille with my lefthand and find that the right isn't so sensitive. Also, I really panicked once when I had a plaster on my left index finger. However, I found that my middle finger next to it was far more sensitive than I'd anticipated. I wonder if it's on the same nerve pathway or something. Anyway, just my thoughts, in case they help.
