I am not much cop with anything fiddly as my fingers aren’t that dexterous. Although you would think this would make the touch pad on the iPhone a dream for me, for some reason its just too fiddly and my fat fingers regularly hit the wrong keys. Very frustrating!

Have you tried the google G1 phone, it has the same abilities as the iphone but is much easier to use
Really? I hear there’s a new version coming out later in the year so may have to invest in one. I am using a Nokia E71 at the moment and boy is that painful! Far too small for my hands so need a change quick! Thanks
I always had problems with tiny keys on most phones, but I’ve found the iPhone much easier to use. Though only when not moving – it’s a nightmare on public transport!
I agree with Russell.
For me the iPhone keyboard is not bad (it could be better but I have seen a lot worse). However, if you are moving, it becomes really, really difficult to use.
It obviously help to have to predictive text. The predictive text is available in several languages and you can switch from one language to another by simply pressing a key.
For those having trouble with the iPhone who think a stylus might help, test out the Pogo Stylus – it doesn’t need any skin contact so it can be mounted on a mouth stick or hand brace if that helps you.
I realise this would make dexterity problems worse for some, but for others it can help a lot.
