i completely agree with what you are saying. I am loving braille touch and have quickly got used to holding the phone differently. I must commend the developers on this inovative idea. The problem with having the dots orientated like a perkins is that there will not be enough space for your fingers. I also would not like to give up the ability to type when no flat surface is available as i think this is an essential feature. Just my thoughts, Louise
