Hi,
The overwhelming majority of smartphone owners type with there thumbs. If you
happen to go out with someone sighted, ask them how many people they see thum
typing. This is probably the fastest way of inputing text on these devices.

Hi listers,
This is fascinating: How many folk type on a standard keyboard with their
thumbs? I've just tried using my thumbs; I suppose with practice I could
improve, but it just doesn't feel right somehow. It's a good job there isn't
a correct way, and good that we can all choose our preferred method.
Regards,
Mike

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

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.
