Holding the phone in my left hand, I use the 3 fingers (Index, Middle, and Ring), and depending on what letter I'm typing, the finger: for the A, Q, W, S, i, I use the Index; for the E, D, F, R, etc., the middle but sometimes the Index. And for the rest of the letters, I use either the Index or middle finger. To switch between letters and numbwiths, I use the Index finger. And for the Enter, I use the Ring finger.
