True, I have friends who use the Braille keyboard Apple has created or mBraille or something. I just can't seem to do that although I wish I could, make too many errors and I have read braille all my life and can write it easily on a Braille Note, a Focus 14, and a Perkins, just not on the screen LOL.

I don't understand your question. There's nothing wrong with choosing to use the virtual keyboard and not wanting to carry around extra equipment. There's also nothing wrong with someone wanting to use a bluetooth keyboard. We have choices, and there's nothing wrong when someone chooses to take advantage of their choices. Also, using a bluetooth keyboard doesn't mean someone isn't using or isn't proficient with the virtual keyboard. I primarily use the virtual keyboard, but I do have a bluetooth keyboard when I'm using my iPhone as a laptop replacement, such as when I'm travelling.
