Using the Built-In Keyboard

Any time you need to type something on your iPhone, a keyboard automatically appears onscreen. The keys are kind of small, but as you type, a large version of the letter you just typed pops up in front of your finger so you can see instantly if you hit the right letter. I can tell you from experience that the more you use this keyboard, the easier it gets, so if you wind up misspelling just about every word when you first start, don't sweat it - in just a couple of days, you'll be misspelling only every third or fourth word. There's also a pretty clever auto-complete function. Although it will suggest a word while you're typing it, go ahead and finish the word (especially if you've spelled it wrong) and it will replace your misspelled word with the correct word (95% of the time). You do have to get used to typing a word, seeing that you've misspelled it, and continuing to type. If you do that, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll be able to type using this keyboard

iTip: Fixing your Typos

If you need to go back and fix a typo that the auto-complete feature didn't catch, just press-and-hold approximately where the typo occurred and a magnifying Loupe appears onscreen so you can only clearly see the location of your cursor, but you can move the cursor with your finger, as well, to quickly let you fix the mistake.
