- amazinglygracelessRetired ModOn the 9800 my speed has dropped a bit but on the 9000 and the 8900 I
regularly clocked in at 90+ wpm (error free). Full disclosure I type at 120+ wpm
on a real keyboard.
None of this is germane to the OPs question though as I DO NOT TEXT
(some of you had to see that coming )
Makes me wonder how Barbara Blackburn would have done with a BlackBerry.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com10-29-10 06:48 PMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModTrust me you can. Trick is to recognize when your index fingers need to be
involved. I'd be about as slow as a pregnant, three legged turtle if I only
used my thumbs.
Practice and get a timed word game or two10-29-10 07:29 PMLike 0 - I am 33-36WPM with one handed typing on my Torch, 35-40WPM on my Tour, 29-32WPM on my 9300
I've never done a speed test with 2 hands but I suspect I would be in the high 60's-low 70's on my Torch, and probably low 70's on my Tour.
wouldn't even guess on my 9300,
IF I got to practicing with 2 hands and was looking to set a record, I might get high 70's but I am impressed with that guy very well done!,10-29-10 07:30 PMLike 0 -
HOW the heck do you get your index finger involved on the BB?
Min are perched by the lock and mute buttons when I type.
( I just trying to type with my index finger on my BB 2 hands I can't even get to 40WPM!)10-29-10 07:34 PMLike 0 -

picture:
My phone is held: four finger of left hand except thumb on the back, last
3 finger of the right hand on the back.
Now here is where it gets tricky, my left thumb only touches the first 4 left
column of keys, right thumb only the next three and right index finger the
last three column of keys on the right.
I have been doing this with full QWERTY PDA / cellphones forever. It works.
Well, at least for me.10-29-10 07:51 PMLike 0 - Heyawhaythw f
That was me using your technique to type "hey what's up"
That must take a good bit pf practice.
I should add that that was with a full keyboard in Portrait with a touch screen phone. That maybe makes a difference.
You got mad skillz! Lol

But it really not that much of a stretch. In touch typing only certain fingers
touch certain keys. I just kind of adapted it the small keyboard.
For what it's worth, I tried that on the virtual keyboard. It looked like Klingon.10-29-10 08:18 PMLike 0 -

- Let me ask you guys, do you look at the keyboard when you type? I do, but I have read of others who don't look at the keys that they stay locked on the screen.

- If you want to increase your speed, become an auto-text power user. I have over 400 or the most commonly used English wrds abbreviated in auto-text, creating a personal shorthand. It saves me many keystrokes in every sentence. It's not just about typos and "special" words and phrases. I'll never own a phone without auto-text. It's much more powerful than predictive.
