    Hi all, just a quick question

    Does anyone know of any apps or ways that will enable you to txt with a numeric keypad with t9? Im finding the qwerty on it hard to get used to, hitting wrong buttons all the time

    thanks

    I was like that at first, in fact it was one of the reasons i wouldn't get an iPhone..

    You get used to iit, Can't imagine going back the other way now

    Until you get used to it, go slowly. Don't lift your finger until the magnification confirms you've got the right button. If it's the wrong one, slide your finger over and then let go. Also learn to trust the autocorrect, it's very good and will correct most of your mistakes.

    I have a similar issue-my question to the pros is dovyou use just one finger to type(as I'm doing now) or find you can type better/faster holding it in your hands and using your two thumbs to type?

    I never type that way. I mostly type in portrait mode using just my thumb. But sometimes I'll use the index finger of my other hand.

    I type with both thumbs usually.

    Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards -> Add New Keyboard -> Japanese Ten Key. It's available there.
