Well, I struggled to make some of the characters work, but they did in the end. I got an N about 6 times in a row when trying for a Y. Still don't know what I was doing wrong, but it corrected in the end.

I think the tendency is to move fingers up and down from the original position and that's why you are getting the lowered effect. You have more "wiggle room" right to left but you need to keep your fingers in position up and down. Maybe kind of imagine the dots as stationary on the phone where you first tapped instead of thinking you should move up and down the column. I would really advise people to play with this and post problems before posting evaluational comments. As I recall, my first few hours' experience with typing on the virtual keyboard on the iPhone weren't very impressive either. Some skills take time and patience. If, however, my skill hadn't improved with the virtual keyboard over time, I would have taken it back and would have said the iPhone just wasn't for me. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
