Period. If you can't, its because you haven't tried hard enough. I know, because I couldn't until I tried (and learned) and now can. Simple Simple.
Wrong. I've tried -- autocorrect is guesses wrong for me at least 50% of the time. I hate everything about it and thank my lucky stars we can turn it off. You are confusing your own subjective preferences for objective truth.
 
I dont c how people can type with their point finger. i cant do that at all! to slow and to much movie of the entire hand.. Most of the time.. I type two thumbs. Very easily, very fast.. I can even type without looking with very very few mistakes.. if i dont do the two finger method. Lets say im driving.. I either use one thumb... or i drive with my leg and use two thumbs lol.. depends on how much i have to type

I get around the keyboard pretty well with my right index finger. I guess it just depends on how you originally learned to type on the iPhone's virtual keyboard.

... or i drive with my leg and use two thumbs lol..

Now that is scary. Let me know when you'll be out on the road...
 
Bit of both really. I haven't quite got the knack of holding it securely when using both thumbs. What do you find the best way to do that? If I'm sitting down I tend use both thumbs, or sometimes both forefingers.
 
I barely ever use one finger. Occasionally I will use one thumb, but generally I always use two thumbs. :cool:

Well, for me, I usually use two thumbs, but right now I'm using two index fingers, just to try it out,,,
Not too bad, as for when I drive, I have to say one handed with my thumb is the way to go,,,
As for OTHER,, I have used my nose, but only on the ski slopes, and for really REALLY short messages, and only when it's really , REALLY COLD! (and wife's already left couple of voice mails already!
I did learn the two thumb way on the sidekick II, really a great way to type on it,, real buttons to feel, don't need to look at most of the time when you type even,,,
 
Welllll...If landscape mode was more prevalent in the iPhone, I would use that all the time and would have learned from the start to use two thumbs. But since I learned that almost every time you type you will be in portrait mode, I use my right index finger and have become accustomed to that.

With 3.0 on the way, though, that could change.
