Hi, I've not used the Touch before, but from what I've seen on the videos, you're supposed to slide your finger on the key you want to type and if it pops the correct letter, then you lift your finger off. It's different from the N800, where you tap the letter. And I think your other finger (if the next letter is near it) can already start typing the next letter even before the other finger has lifted off. Correct me if I'm wrong...so by sliding and lifting off at the correct letter, you can be quite accurate with the iphone's keyboard.
