Request Something to make touch-typing easier?

Personally, I hate touch-screen keyboards, and don't anticipate using the Edge without an old USB keyboard once I do buy one, but I was thinking; how effective is that new Swype software they developed?

I never got a chance to try it and actually down-graded my smartphone to a cheap mobile to cut costs, but Swype may be an idea? For all I know though, it may already be used; I see it popped up in the tags when I started to type it in.

Glad to be aware of such an interesting product as the Edge; and please forgive me for 'misspelling' it - I hate the mid-sentence capitalization, it takes forever

SWIPE is exelent for small screens, on big display you need to draw much bigger distances -- mean more hand motions. So unless you typeing only using one finger - it doesn't give you any benefit.

p.s. also EE need to fix small bugs in touchscreen input first.

There is not a version of Swype with the right resolution yet, but SlideIt works. I use it occasionally, in portrait mode, but it seems to slow the edge down - kind of laggy.

I don't understand how anyone can "touch type" on a LCD regardless of the software keyboard being used. My experience has been that I really need the tactual feedback from a physical keyboard, otherwise my fingers get disorientated.

I used "sound" feedback instead of tactual.

Could you explain please, robot?

Agreed, and thank you. I have an old generic USB keyboard I bought for my PlayStation 2 when I had one (been a few years lol) so I'm envisioning propping this up like a book or folding it like a laptop, and plugging that in to use.

Again, I appreciate the clarification.
