Gosh that makes me sad…I type 130+ wpm on the computer, and about 75-85 wpm on my Blackberry. But 100 words per … five minutes, ack I don’t know if I could stand that. This is the only thing preventing me from iPhoning…

Wow. I just tried this out on the notes application and it really does work! I was able to type a whole 100 word paragraph in less than 5 minutes (a huge improvment for me!) ! Thank you!

I actually find that when I’m typing while looking at the keyboard and see the individual letters spring up that I get caught in a trance, it just works. Maybe I’m in the minority here but I’m far more accurate and actually quicker than if I don’t watch the keyboard, where I would more mistakes and have to go back and fix them.

If u want to change a letter in the middle of the word just hold ur finger down on the word. A magnifying glass effect will appear, and you will be able to place the cursor anywhere u wanted.

Is there a way to delete or change a letter from text in the middle of a sentence? So if I have typed the sentence “Don’t Forget to get the dog food” and I want to change the cap F to a lowcase f the only way I can see to do it is to insert the key after the word Forget and backspace all the way to the F. I would like to be able to insert the key between the F and o. Is it possible?
Also, I tend to bump the return key too often. Maybe trying the ‘watch the screen’ technique will help me with that.
