- Use the Force - Trust the iPhone's auto-correction software. Try to type without looking for errors after every keystroke. You'll find that the software is pretty accurate and most of your mistakes will be fixed.
- Turn on Caps Lock - Want to type in all caps and annoy your email recipients? Your iPhone's caps lock function is not turned on by default. Go here to change that: Settings > General > Keyboard, then slide the Enable Caps Lock option to the On position. To enable during typing, quickly double tap the SHIFT key (another quick tap turns it off).
- Quick Access to Punctuation Marks or Numbers - Press and hold the "@123" (or "?123") key. The punctuation keyboard will appear, then drag your finger to the punctuation you want, and release and you will be brought back to the default keyboard. - Sent by: Steven
