I guess it's down to personal preference and likely based on what method
you've learned Braille with. I find the method you suggest much harder.

Subject: Re: Braille Touch Doesn't Work as I expected
Good evening folks,
Just a note on the braille touch, which is very much easier to use when
altering the keys in "advanced settings" so that the keyboard becomes like a
Stainsby.
A Stainsby predates the Perkins and was noisy and relatively primitivbe,
however my brief experience with it makes the braille touch very much
easier.
I use the braille touch with the phone lying flat with the home button to
the right.
Dot 1 is now made with my left ring finger and dot 6 with my right index
finger. I can get a reasonable speed with this method although 100%
accuracy has never been my forte, irrespective of qwerty or braille
keyboards.
I look forward to the grade 2 update.
James.

I would definitely not be willing to trade this possible future option for
horizontal key arrangement for the inability to type when I don't have a
flat surface. I think this horizontal arrangement could be really useful
if and when the app is made available for iPads, but on the phone, unless
I had access to a proper desk, not my lap or other precarious position, I
think the current arrangement is quite usable. Sure, it is different, but
so is a touch screen different from what we were all use to not that long
ago. If this option can be just that, an option, great. But particularly
on the phone, I would really not like it.
