Hi Steve
Yes I agree totally. I text with the index finger on my left hand,
while holding the phone with my right.

Hi Eleanor,
I didn't say that QWERTY is not suitable, I merely said I don't like it.
That is completely different. I hate it. My way of working means that I
can text with my left hand on the keypad without using my other hand
except to hold the phone steady.
All the best
Steve

Thanks Steve. I wonder why you feel so strongly about qwerty on a
phone.
Actually it has taken great practice and I will make no secret of that
on e71, I certainly did not acquire the skills as quickly as some
members of this list and I do not use the predictive type text as I need
to be 100% effecient with the keyboard before I ever do that. Want the
skill to be automatic so that I do not loose it again. Indeed I would
say now that I am 99% effecient with my left index finger only and 2
thirds the speed I previously had with N95 and N96. I have progressed
from a few word text messages, through to a sentence, then building on
that to more sentences and
then progressed to e-mails which were very short at first but now as
long as
I choose. A lovely phone I have to say the e71. I would be interested
though to know why you feel qwerty are not suitable for the phone.
Finally I must get a sighted person to look at the phone for or with me
because for example if i press the function key and the letter K I can
get the dash symbol and I think there must be other symbols available in
a similar manner. If anyone knows these then perhaps you would let me
know. I am aware of going in to the symbols screen by pressing the
Talks key twice, so that is not a problem but I know I have accidentally
hit the apostrophy on the qwerty itself but cannot remember what I did
for instance.#
Eleanor
