Sandy, I'm sure others will have other ways of typing, but I, personally type with the first two fingers on my left hand while holding the phone with my right hand. The phone is basicly cradled in my right hand with my fingers and thumb on the outside edges of the case, not touching the screen. Then, when typing, I merely move my left hand up and down the phone, that is, usually my first finger on my left hand. When I am typing, and the item is to close to the left edge of the phone, I will switch fingers and place my second finger on the surface of the phone. Note, that I am using a split-tap typing mode on the phone, not the one where one lifts the finger from the surface of the phone in order to execute a letter. I find this comes in most handy for me although I have tried both methods. Caviot, there will be times when it is necessary to double-tap the surface of the phone in which cases a split-tap will not work. In these instances it becomes necessary to place two fingers very close together, find the item which requires a double-tap and tap twice, quickly on that item with two fingers.

I have just purchased an iPhone and I am finding the typing daunting. I know people do it so I know I will get it. I'd be interested in some advice. What fingers do you type with? Do you use only one finger or do you use one finger on each hand simultaneously? My husband says he uses his thumbs to type on his Droid but I wonder if that is a more sighted approach. I find I want to use the same fingers I read Braille with. To keep from cluttering the list, feel free to respond to me privately at [email protected] Thank you.
