What I would like to see is a nearly full-sized keyboard that is flexible or collapses or something like that. Put a dock connector at the top so that the iPhone attaches like a laptop screen and you could actually do some serious writing on it. Smaller than a laptop.
You already can just get used to the virtual keyboard. I type paragraphs all the time with ease. It's really not that hard.
You assume I'm new to the iPhone. I've bought my first iPhone on the first day of release, and I've been using the virtual keyboard ever since. I still can't approach 120 wpm on it like I can on a full-sized keyboard. You talk about writing "whole paragraphs". I meant real writing, not jotting down a comment on a message board.
I never assumed anything, I just said you have to get used to it. There's a difference in buying something and mastering it. You're the one making assumptions. You said you can't get 120 WPM which obviously means you haven't got as good on the virtual keyboard as on a regular one. I type all the time on my virtual keyboard and I can type just as fast on it as I can on my regular computer keyboard. I said paragraphs not comments on a forum. Anyone that has an IQ above fourth grade level can tell that there's a difference in the two.
Please keep your insults to yourself. You say you're as fast on the virtual keyboard as you are on a real one. How fast is that? If your normal typing speed is "hunt-and-peck" then matching that on the virtual keyboard is no great accomplishment. All I am saying is that it's impossible to type 120 wpm on the virtual keyboard. A quick perusal with Google shows that the upper range for iPhone typing is around 50 wpm or so. I have used it nearly every day since I got the iPhone, and I'm quite fast with it, but I still prefer a real keyboard for serious writing.
