I just bought my first smartphone motorola stylus and I find the on-screen keyboard to be too small for my fingers so I use the stylus to poke my way around. I am also not finding the assorted swipe shortcuts to be natural for me. I really wanted a CAT phone as they are rugged and no frills but they are vendor locked. I had to find something to replace my throw-away flip-phone as VRZN is shutting off its network. If I can find an unlocked CAT I will just root the Motorola, nuke the Google cruft and use it strictly as an MP3 player. The Fairphones also look nice and easy to fix but not sold in the US.
So no, I do not believe you are an imbecile. There are probably large screen keyboard apps but then giving a keyboard apps to interact with everything sounds like a sub-optimal route.
- nehal3m 4y agoI have a Fairphone 4 and flashed /e/OS because I like a deGoogled phone that skews towards privacy. I'm hesitant to swap out the keyboard because it's a systemwide app that receives a whole bunch of personal data and even passwords. It sucks. I loved the iOS swipe keyboard and after tweaking the dictionary a little I could get up to 60-70wpm. This one I can't get past 30. I'd love a handheld keyboard accessory, something to snap onto your phone landscape-wise. But then again it keeps me from wasting a bunch of time on my phone and for longer chat conversations I'll just hop on my laptop anyway.
