As many have stated, many alternatives exist for typing long messages on the iPhone. I personally prefer the Fleksy app. I was horrible with it at first but like everything else, practice does make perfect. And they've improved some problems I didn't like about it with their latest version. Fleksy presents a keyboard with oversized letters on the bottom third of the screen. It is laid out like a regular keyboard but with only the letters. You type near where you believe the letter you want to be and Fleksy sounds an audible click as each letter is selected. It then does an amazing job at selecting the word it thinks you were typing. If it's wrong, you can swipe up and down with a single finger to choose from other alternatives. It really is quite amazing and gets better the more you use it.
Good luck.

Hi Bhavesh, I have an iPhone 4 and sometimes use it to do my email. I was writing short replies when I was typing my replies on the virtual on screen keyboard. That works fine most of the time but there are times when a line or two just doesn't cut it. You either send that person a message saying I've made a note of this and will reply in greater detail when I get to a computer. Better then nothing but doesn't really resolve the problem. I bought myself an Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard on sail for 26 bucks from Amazon when the regular price was 45 dollars. I'm not interested in all the keyboard commands to strictly use the keyboard to control my iPhone. So, when I hit the reply button on my iPhone that brings up the on screen keyboard. That's when I switch my hands from the iPhone to the Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard. As I start typing, it appears on the screen of my iPhone. Misspelled words are corrected in the usual way. When I'm finished typing I put my hands back on my iPhone and send the message. Given this description and method of use, the only thing you need to know about the keyboard is where the power button is and the recessed paring button oh and where the battery compartment is. The keyboard is roughly 10 inches long, 5 inches from top to bottom and maybe a half inch thick at it's widest. It runs off of 2 double (A) batteries. This keyboard does not fold so you can slip it in a backpack etc. I did buy the cover for another 20 bucks and it's a pretty nice little case. It's soft black canvice on the outside with fleece inside. The keyboard is a bit tight to fit in the case when you first get it but that eases up after some use. If your going to carry it around with you, I'd strongly recommend getting the case. If your going to use it mostly at home then save the 20 bucks and order a pizza with it.
