Listers,

My iPhone 5C had arrived yesterday, and due to your past support and the 
information so devotedly published in many places by the generous users of 
iDevices, I had succeeded in setting it up. What a relief and joy!!! I've had 
some time today to play with it, and at the moment, the only trouble I seem to 
have is to type text efficiently so that it doesn't take me for ever. I see 
that some of you write fairly long messages to the group, others compose 
documents in Pages etc. How on earth do you accomplish it? An external 
bluetooth keyboard is not an option for me other than at home but then I have 
my computer which has a qwerty keyboard.

I had great hopes for Braille Touch app but I have just realised how difficult 
it is to hold it in the way recommended and at the same time use the fingers to 
produce letters. I failed miserably! also, as others had mentioned, my right 
hand blocks the speaker so it is very discouraging. I had better luck with 
Fleksy. I turned my phone landscape and was able to use most of my fingers to 
type with a degree of accuracy provided my phone rested on the table. 

The iPhone native keyboard is very small indeed. I tried to find where I could 
change typing mode but it seems to be missing from the settings, or am I 
missing something? On the iPad you can change typing mode from split tap which 
I find slows me down, to touch typing which is a bit more efficient. I know 
it's early days for me but answering text messages and writing short e-mails is 
something I need to do fairly quickly.

I tried Siri for the first time, and I'm [proud to say that I had managed to 
send a text, place a phone-call and ask for my location. Siri couldn't always 
understand me though. 

The volume up and down buttons do not seem to change the volume of Voiceover 
much. Is this how it should be?

Thanks for any tips, and thanks for your support.

Andrew
