I think it's really a matter of personal preference and experience. I don't find that orientation stressful at all. Actually, so far, I find that I spend much less time typing with BrailleTouch than I do with the standard keyboard, because it's that much faster. I would say that my typing on BrailleTouch is at least five times faster than on the standard keyboard. I can type as fast as I can spell aloud. So I think that in the long run, it balances out, and not as much time is spent typing on the phone with BrailleTouch. To be honest, if I were typing a lot, I would probably switch to a physical keyboard instead of using a virtual one, but that is my own preference.
Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers.
