Hi, You seem to have had some answers here but the one you may still be missing is how to delete a wrong character.
You need to slide your finger up the right-hand side of the keyboard, just a little way, passing the """Return" key as you go, and there's a delete button there. It is quite small so go slowly at first, to get used to finding it. If you have some text selected, it will delete that text. If you just want to delete a previous character when writing in a text field, just slide your finger onto it then lift it and the character you have just deleted will be announced. Hope this helps.

I found the Music app and saw the free stuff you could listen to, or buy, courtesy I Tunes. The categories and playing screen was pretty easy to navigate - I hope they change that up sometimes. Maybe if I hit the like button on things I really like, it will influence what it will show me? I went to Safari and was overwhelmed. I Hit on item chooser but had forgotten how to go through the alphabetized list I had read about. When I saw the search field in Music as well as Safari, I tried typing, and voila, I could do it. Only thing is I could not find the equivalent of a back space button for deleting misspelled characters. I guess I'll go into settings and check auto correct which normally I don't like. I was pretty sure there was also a dictate button or a way to use Siri to tell it what you wanted to search for, but I didn't get that going. It's back to Dresner for a second or third read. Today might be a very welcome breakthrough day. Yesterday I looked at reviews on Amazon for the blue tooth headset some recommended here. It was the $100 (down to $79) most recent model by Plantronics. There were some definite drawbacks. One drawback of on-line shopping is that you don't know exactly what you've got until it is in hand. Unfortunately, there are no computer stores within walking distance of where I live. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
