| 1231078 | 2011-09-14 21:52:00 | I just want some of your views . My first touchscreen phone . Initial impressions - it's a cool trendy phone, good quality AMOLED screen but I just can't type accurately . Just had it for a while - so like typing in calendar dates which needs accuracy or words that needs to be spelt correctly . Would it improve over time? What's your view on touchscreen? It's a Nokia C6-01, with a 3 . 2" screen I think . Not into apps and stuff and I wanted Ovi Maps . I see a no . of younger people with Blackberry styled phones so their might be a decent market who still likes those . Thanks . |

| 1231079 | 2011-09-14 22:06:00 | I recently bought myself an HTC Trophy (Windows Phone 7, 3.8"), while it does take a bit of getting used to, I'm finding myself entering text really fast (especially with autocorrect enabled). | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1231080 | 2011-09-14 22:44:00 | I have a galaxy S and I find typing in portrait orientation quite akward, tipping it sideways into landscape is a lot easier. The auto complete is great though, it very often chooses the right word long before I finish typing. I also can't master swype it makes more trouble than it's worth for me. Overall I find touchscreen fine for moderate use but I don't like it for typing more than a few words, posting in the forums from it is tedious for example and ends up full of typos. I use a pc for anything serious. |

| 1231081 | 2011-09-14 22:53:00 | The phone I lost was a Nokia E75. Normal key buttons and a slide out keyb. Yeah predictive typing, but I need it for numbers and unique words which won't be in the dictionary :p A bit of a shame even Nokia have ditched full buttons and got to least a hybrid. Blackberry :D |

| 1231082 | 2011-09-15 02:02:00 | Mine is a VF 858 Huawei Android 2.2 When I want to type I turn it sideways and the touch keyboard becomes larger. I have turned off predictive and can now type a lot faster than I could on my old Nokia key pad one. It does take a little getting used to, but hey, that's what it's all about eh? LL |

| 1231083 | 2011-09-15 02:08:00 | I find that when people go from the cludgy old fone keyboard to a touch screen with a normal qwerty key board they never want to go back. Bit like the days of moving from a rotary dial fone to a Touch-tone one.. You never want to go back.. | paulw (1826) | ||

| 1231085 | 2011-09-15 03:00:00 | I just use Swype these days - I'd never go back to a normal keyboard again; it's *much* faster (and miles more accurate) than the traditional hunt & peck method of typing on a touchscreen. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1231086 | 2011-09-15 04:17:00 | I will give it some time but it's not good . When on campus, it doesn't save login details, typing in usernames and passwords is not fun, takes me like 3-5mins to just do that . And yep, sideways . I find that GPS or menu or phoning is fine but others . . . . Takes me the same time to type google . com I also cannot lean my hand on the screen cos it would press it . |

| 1231087 | 2011-09-15 06:00:00 | Most touch screens are resistive type I think, and every one of them I've had have been bad for typing. My desire hd has a capacitive touch screen, which I find to be awesome for typing. I had swype for a few weeks and got used to it, but I found it hada few flaws (still in beta) so I went back to the standard keypad. | jareemon (5207) | ||
