1st World Problems - Smart Phones

[MrsMB]

You know why I don't text and drive? Safety.

Well, THAT and I suck at typing on a smart phone.

I can't type on these teeny tiny keyboards. I mistype all the time leading to HILARIOUS texts thanks to Auto-correct. With my last smart phone, I was lucky to have both a smart phone and a qwerty keyboard. When that phone broke, I went to Verizon looking some something similar and the sales girl laughed at me. "Oh, honey...they don't MAKE those anymore." Gee thanks.

Anyone know any tricks, apps, or know of a phone to solve my troubles?

Swype. And not the Samsung version of Swype, the actual Swype (I got a different phone and had to change it in settings). LOVE IT.

I love Swype. I didn't really have a problem typing without it, but it makes things SO much easier.

I've never tried Swype. Sometimes I turn the phone sideways to make the keyboard bigger.

Mine has this for every function other than texting....otherwise I would be hitting it up!

I may try this Swype and see....I have 1.4 years until I'm able to upgrade and pray for a qwerty option. ha!

I suck at Swyping. LOL and have nothing else to contribute.

Haha. I used to be fine at it, then I got my phone replaced and was really confused at how terrible it was. Then I realized Samsung had their own version it defaulted to and now that I put it back on Swype mode, it's usually fine

I suck at swyping and prefer not to use it. My DH loves it though.

I have never heard of this until today.

I tried swyping but it didn't go well. I've had some hilarious auto corrections though. DH has huge fingers and his texts were freaking funny with the spelling mistakes and auto correct. I ended up buying him a stylet that attaches to the phone from the dollar store, since then he is a lot better.
