    Ok fellow Curve users, I just upgraded from a Pearl last week, and while I think the Curve is a super piece, I am having issue typing on the keyboard with my big a%% fingers. I know it may take a little getting used to, but has anyone else had the problem, and what technique do you use to type without hitting 2 or 3 keys at a time?

    I have enormous fingers/hands. They were nice for football baseball as well as many things but for guitar and blackberries they are a pain. Just keep practicing and you will get it. I was pretty poor at it now I am quite fast on my curve.......Get on BBM and a week later you will be smokin'

    I don't have a technique to make it easier, but I can tell you that you will get faster/better with practice. I can now type super fast on my curve, when it used to take a rocket scientist to figure out what I was trying to say.

    As a girl with nails, I have to use the side of my fingers. The bump next to where the nail meets the side. Less finger on the pad makes it a little easier.

    I find that the easiest way for me I'd to use bothe thumbs and not try to use just one hand

    I actually have very skinny long fingers, and I'm a guy, lol. Typing was a bit of a problem at first, now its a breeze. You will find what works for you as you use your curve.

    Same here, I leave my thumbnails just a little longer to make it easier to use the keyboard

    I totally agree with that. Your speed will definitely increase after a couple of weeks on BBM.
