    My cousin got a iPhone and was complaining he found it hard typing with his fat fingers! My fingers are def fatter than his- he was using his index finger!

    I hold my iPhone in my right hand and type with the top right hand tip of my right thumb. How do you type on yours?

    I type with my thumbs on any touch screen things, though I don't own an iPhone.

    I knew the iPhone haters would be first to respond!
    He's an iPhone I've an iPhone so that's why I asked about iPhones. Other touch screen phones have different keyboard designs (I presume)

    I presume iPhone owners love their phones so much they only interact with the touchscreen using their small todgers.

    Asking a question makes you a hater?

    I knew someone who thinks having an iphone is something to brag about would start a thread like this.

    They never shut up about its amazing new features such as "text messaging" and "dialing".

    Does it do delivery reports yet?
    I seem to remember that was a massive oversight.

    I don't tap my android phone to type anyway. That's soooo old school.

    I just slide type by drawing my finger across the keys to make each word. Saves a lot of finger ache.

    Apple will probably patent this next year lol

    He spelt hater correctly. Are you thinking of hatter?

    "My iPhone is ringing".

    Its a fukcing phone. Just call it a phone. I don't go around saying "I was playing a game on my S3". I say I was playing a game on my phone.

    Fukcing Apple fanboys...

    I hold it in my left hand, in landscape, thumb at the bottom, index and middle finger at the top, and type with both my right index and right middle finger. I find my nails interfere on my thumb.

    It's not an iphone but standard qwerty keypad and I'm still getting used to it. Think I preferred normal buttons - was certainly much faster anyway.

    I like to keep my middle fingers free for fending off idiots who insist on flashing their thief magnets in public.

    I type in landscape with my tongue! :D

    I use two thumbs. How can you type on a phone with just one thumb? Are you masturbating at the same time? How slow do you write messages? Someone needs to make a typing speedtest for phones, actually.
