Onscreen keypad for the iphone – What a nightmare

People across the country have been queing up to get the new iphone 3GS which now supports updated video technology and new messaging system. Of course it lives up to everything that people have said? The obvious answer would naturally be, YES! Of course it is worth it! Although the iphone is the most popular phone on the market I have noticed a few road blocks which tend to be popping up in the forums across the net.

The biggest issue with the current iphone has got to be the onscreen keyboard. Personally, I own a Blackberry and that has a keyboard built into the phone but it is not touch screen. Surely, this has got to be worse? It is far better in my opinion. Although the iPhone does offer an onscreen touchpad it is extremely annoying to use. Unfortunately, for most people their fingers are too big for the touch screen. Becuase the keys are so small you put in one letter and you end up with the wrong one all the time. There are several areas on the iphone which are very hard to use.

Computer keyboards are harder to replicate the smaller they get however having one on screen does seem like the logical choice for a phone like the iphone. Let us hope that educational keyboards dont end up this hard to use as I am struggling to get use to how a wireless keyboard works myself.

This is something that Apple really need to sort out as there has been numerous problems reported on forums everywhere. When it comes to the phone keypad, the Blackberry is far more easy to use rather than the iphone. I have heard numerous issues being raised on the forums about how hard the iphone keypad is to use. It is definitely worth considering when you purchase your next phone. If you are thinking of whether to buy an iphone or Blackberry remember that the touch screen keypad on the iphone is not of the best quality.
