Not at all.

Honestly, if you think one finger swiping is faster and better than ten fingers on a keyboard I would suggest you spend some time leaning to type.

anything longer than a sentence is an absolute grind on the phone

Sweetie seems fair right up until I needed to go back and reevaluate everything I’ve said and change half the words because the store system has made it’s own decisions about what I’ve said.

Tell us you don’t know how to type without telling us you don’t know how to type

I love swipe gestures on the phone and use it almost exclusively and I’m pretty fast with it… but in no world is it even close to the speed of a keyboard.

It’s only slower to you because you haven’t learned how to type properly. If you sat down and learned, you’d be typing on a keyboard much faster than you swipe on your phone. Much less typos, too.

Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets

You’d have to be really bad at typing for that to be true.

No, it’s way slower. More likely you just can’t type.

I actually have used swipe for years, and there’s no way I could type as fast or as accurate as I can with a keyboard. Specifically accurate. I had to go back and correct four words in this post.

I just want a smartphone with a built in physical keyboard, like my old Nokia e6.

TIL people actually use, and like, swipe typing.

I much prefer real keys I can feel being pressed. I don’t even know how swiping would be faster unless you just can’t type. In which case: learn home row, ffs.
