How do you text on your iPhone?

This is a serious question:

I just got my first iPhone and I was wondering, how do most people text?

1) Using 1 hand in portrait
2) Using 2 hands in portrait
3) Using 2 hands in landscape

I know there is no "correct" way to do it, but how do you and the people you're around text?

Option 2

Anyone really text in lanscape mode,would be weird esp on iP5 . Anyways,I mostly use both hands in potrait,am quick

for 2 hand users: anyone use a combo of thumb and index finger like me? (versus thumb and thumb)

thats exactly how i text. i make less typos that way. thumb & thumb feels awkward to me.

One handed or two. That's why I prefer iPhone over the big android phones.

One handed portrait. I've found I'm much faster with just one thumb than trying to get two digits to interact on the screen together.

2 hands in portrait mode. (I personally think this is the most common)

2 hands in portrait!

2 hands, portrait.

Option one. But I am right handed and text with my left.

Depends, if I'm wanting to reply before they send another message, or if I didn't know the answer to something and had to Google it to look smart, then I type 2 hands in portrait as quick as I possibly can! haha!

Any other time when I just don't care about replying...one handed all the way

Depends. With the cold weather settling here, it's mostly one handed in portrait unless I am somewhere warm. Then it's two handed in either orientation.

1 handed portrait with thumb when I'm vertical & while horizontal 2 hands left to hold & index finger on right to type.

Don't Laugh

Preferred option is Siri. No, I'm not joking - I love it...

If I'm in a "talking to the phone would be weird/antisocial" place, then two handed portrait...

One hand if I turn it side ways I would use two hands.

Portrait mainly;
One or two hands equally. Two hands is easier and gives me less typos but in train while commuting I need to grap a handle so one-handed also works.

(Typed with two hands)

Well I always text in portrait mode with 2 thumbs.

I do this too...left hand with thumb. It actually feels awkward trying to text with my right.

You had a BlackBerry before ?
That's the typical BB-style I saw so often

Just joking

I use two hands in portrait

When I am at home, I connect my phone to a BT keyboard, otherwise I use two hands in landscape mode

If I am starting a text conversation Siri. If I am replying I tap the microphone button and talk (all of this assumes I am in a social situation where talking to a phone is not weird). Otherwise portrait, sometimes one hand and sometimes two.

Two hands, portrait

Option 1
