my fat fingers screw up real keyboards... look at 99% of my posts...
i either need a bluetooth type of keyboard for it.. or a wand... just ask bbob how many on he gets vs in on text... i am actually ready to stop having a cell phone due to this... i want real keys... non flip/dlide junk phones.. they do not seem to exist anymore...
what works? is there a blue tooth keyboard for these junk phones? id buy one just to input my contacts in it...
my company got bought out.. was told today had to find new service in next 40 days... so well why give 30 days more $ and switched companies.. = new phone = sux ass... miss my $32/mo 100% unlimited plan and phone... this will be 40/mo unlimited text/data/talk... but hate the phone... with passion...

I got an unlocked vintage Blackberry Curve 8320 coming in the mail. I rarely use a phone so I tried out Lycamobile on a throwaway flip phone. Now I want something with a keyboard and halfassed browser so that may do. Couldn't get the iphone 3G I bought unlocked so I will sell it off, I guess.

LOL... voice huh.. no ill go visit a office store to find me a pointer.. bad enough i walk around looking like i talk to myself.. been using hands free since 99.. god the look on guys face as i turned to him one night after auto answere was turned on so phone did not ring.. and well i started talking with no indications of a phone call.. look at him 5 min later and i may as well have pointed a gun at him...
freeken white.. holding the door.. ready to jump out.. gotta think in 99 that was pretty new.. and since wired in (blue tooth was 05ish birth).. no need to push any buttons to answer when on auto... that was my 1st li-on powered cell.. also small enough to hang on a sunvisor, or button in a shirt pocket... still my most fav phone...
in winter.. hat over ears.. collar pulled up... heck yea i know why dude was white... it was great...

If you are on Android check out SwiftKey. You get to try it free for a month. It does a WAY better job of sorting out what you actually meant

done deal!!
but, you should also be able to calibrate your existing phone to your fat fingers..
iPhones self-calibrate to the user...
