Anyone else have a hard time with a smartphone touchscreen?

I swear, it takes me five minutes to compose and send a text. I hope I improve as time goes along.

1. Mine has a feature ...

that allows you to send a real-time interactive voice message to the recipient. So I don't text that much. :)

2. ah!

Texting is so much better,just gets the message across..no HI and Bye formalities,I use it a LOT!

3. Not really, but mine has a really good keyboard and 'learned' my touch quickly

The autocorrect helps, although it STILL doesn't realize just how much I use "fuck" and "shit" (holy shit! it does now - just didn't notice!).

4. LOL!

Too funny!

5. My phone has a touch screen....

and it's a pain in the ass to check my messages. Every time I activate the keypad, I end up accidentally pressing numbers with my face.

6. It completely depends on the phone

I've had 4... not because I feel the need to change phones every 6 months but because one got stolen and the next broke twice...

Out of the 4, one of them had a great design and texting was easy. It's a pain on my current phone and on the other 2 I had.

Phones should come with a trial period so you can figure out what you hate about it before you are stuck with it.

7. My only problem is...

I keep hitting the "n" or "b" key instead ofnthe spacebar. I'm hoping I will get better over time.

8. Only while I am driving and trying to keep any cops from noticing what I am doing

I kid. Texting is way easier than it was with t9. The only thing I hate is sending any form of code that requires switching back and forth between numbers and letters frequently. Otherwise it works pretty good for texting.
