I disagree. I have a hardware keyboard (and type pretty quickly on it), and I still don't do very much work on my phone. The difference between a physical and touch screen keyboard on a phone is significantly smaller than the leap from a phone keyboard (even a physical one) to a computer keyboard. Even if I could type half as quickly on my phone as my computer, I still wouldn't use it for any serious writing/editing.
- lelandbatey 13y agoAh, see I really enjoy getting some work done on a small phone. It's not so much that I like typing on a small phone, and thus get lots of work done using a phone. For me it's the other way around; I like to get work done using a phone (because that's all I need to do some of my work) and because of that I need a small keyboard. Also, you're totally right about the jump from phone keyboard to full size. If there's anything that'll take a long time (150+ words), I will want to use a real keyboard. In fact, here's how I'd rate various input methods for typing: Word Count and Usefulness of Input Device ----------------------------------------- Software phone keyboard : 1 - 30 words Hardware phone keyboard : 30 - 150 words Crappy laptop keyboard : 150 - 400 words Nice desktop keyboard : 400+ words
- RussianCow 13y agoFair enough. I guess what it comes down to is I don't enjoy using my phone for work, whereas it seems like you do. So I only use it when I need to and don't have access to a larger device. In fact, I use AirDroid so that I can send text messages from my desktop when I'm on it. :)
