One handed iphone

[jonpno]

So im contemplating getting an iphone. one thing i thought of while driving today and using my current phone to type a text message, will i be able to hold the iphone one handed and say send a text message? I know iphone is certaintly different than most phones, with the touch screen and all. What are some of yalls experiences using the iphone in situations like this. thanks

its definitely not safe to drive and text, it's even worse with an iphone

Just dont. Texting while driving is silly. Sorry just my opinion. And yes you can type with one hand I do it all the time and the text prediction helps out alot.

Imagine typing on a full size laptop keyboard while driving. Not going to happen. LOL you might find yourself in a center divide by the time you finish typing one word.

Texting on a normal cell with 3 letters per key really simplifies texting while driving.

So in my opinion unless you wanted to die I wouldn't try texting with the iphone while driving.

Once you learn to trust the auto correct feature it becomes ten times better.
You still have to give a quick once over to make sure it didnt insert the wrong word, but I can type replys much faster than I could on any standard phone.

(I've never had a full qwerty keyboard phone like a Blackberry, so someone else will be able to give you a better idea about comparing those)

I browse the web, watch videos on you tube, check mail, text, watch tv shows while I drive, but I think I scared myself yesterday when I almost forgot I was driving! So ya bad Idea, don't do it. I'm just a naturalborn multi tasker. I really should stop though.

To actually answer your question, it's difficult without tactile feedback, as you're required to look at the screen when typing. It's possible, but not nearly as easy as a phone with real buttons.

Sounds like you do this regularly...Not a good driving habit, and that's putting it mildly...In many Arizona counties, you'd get pulled over for text messaging while driving...If it's that important, you should pull off the road.

It is possible to use with one hand...just remember which hand has the lotion.

Hahaha that's great. While it is possible to do one hand texting and other things with the iPhone, doing it while driving is certainly not recommended. That being said, I did engage in it earlier. :gasp:

wow..

and yes it is possible, but not a great idea like many have already said. i usually text during heavy traffic or at stop lights, since then you do not have to watch as much.

easy solution to driving while texting= having someone else in the car text for you.

or be even more efficient and make a phone call

I kinda got scared straight when an Audi right in front of me crashed while the guy was obviously texting... but yeah, I did it one letter at a time, (select, look up, select, look up) takes a while, but it's much safer...

Please let me know if you are on the road in the Detroit area texting while driving so I can be prepared to stay away from you!!! I would go ballistic if someone crashed into my car because they couldn't pull over to a safe area and send their stupid text message without endangering the lives of other people!!!!!

That was funny as hell! :tounge:

People do the damndest and scariest stuff behind the wheel of a car. I have friends that text me all the time, then get bummed because they didnt get an immediate response. Thats on them because I dont have anything that important I want to tap out at 65 mph.

Now they know, no response from me means...I'm DRIVING!

Thanks for putting my life at risk as well as everyone else on the road. I am glad to know the message to your buddy is more important than my life and the pain my family will suffer when you hit me head on.

Def. a no no there. It is possible to do but is highly not recommended.

...a naturalborn fool, maybe. We could care less if you kill yourself, but if you kill someone else because you're a dumbass... Well then...

[Fayewolf]

Agree with everyone else, it's not worth it... it's just difficult with the touch keyboard, unlike a keyboard phone where you can feel it, its gonna be a huge distraction, just don't do it...
