Most sighted people use their thumbs to type even on touch screens. As
to what most blind people using touch screens use, that's anyone's
guess. I have used both styles. So I cancel out the statistics.

It's always been my understanding that this is how the majority of
people type on their smart phones with a querty keyboard or numeric
keypad, i.e. using their thumbs. This is how I typed on my last two
Symbian phones, which had a numeric keypad and then a querty keyboard.
I'm not so sure it's how the majority of people use the touch screen
interface on their smart phones. It seems like more people use a pointer
finger. I don't have any statistical data though, so this is all just
anecdotal.
BTW, I have been giving touch typing another chance, and although it's
early, I'm thinking I may end up preferring it over split tapping. I
know I've been a big advocate of split tapping, but all of the people on
this list talking about how great touch typing is caused me to give it
another chance, and I may be glad I did.

Ah!
I use both my right and my left thumb to type. This is how the majority of
people type on smart phones.

Sounds like there's a good bit of variety out there. I've always used
my right thumb for all my typing, that is, until I got my apple
bluetooth keyboard last fall. Now, if I'm going to be typing more
than a couple of words, I use that instead.
