I did try it again. It works very well for most of the letters, though if there's just a few that aren't trained to your own liking, it's so hard to type! I need to teach it a few letters. I guess I just write weird. I tried handwriting maybe once or twice in the first week I got my n800 and I kind of skipped over it since then. I'll teach it a few of my 'special' letters and see how it goes later. Thanks again Bun, I think those shortcuts will come in handy.
