How do I increase my accuracy on the keyboard?

[JimMariner]

You can increase your accuracy on the keyboard by calibrating the keyboard to be more suited to your tapping habits.

From the Home screen tap Menu > Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch input > Text input > Calibration tool. Tap the given phrase and after you have completed the calibration, the keyboard should be more attuned to your touch screen habits.

I don't know if i want to do this. IDK, i don't want to mess it up. Does this calibrate the screen or strictly my finger with typing? I want to try it, maybe one day i'll muster up the courage, but i'd like to know this prior to me doing so.

Jim, see my tip of the day from Friday. It was on this very thing.
Still good info though. To concerned poster this is only for the keyboard and only in portrait mode. Will not change anything else and can be reset.

He is just posting these so they are easily accessible in the FAQ section.

I know...I did this twice today Mix. For some reason I was not seeing the groups that were being posted to while using my phone. To me, it made it look like everything was going to the general forum and not the faq or news forums. Did the same thing to sevenofnine.

too bad you can't calibrate on landscape mode? at least mine can't. but then again the inaccuracy is mostly on potrait mode. i can type pretty fat now with this phone. as fast as i can with my crappy voyager.

Landscape is so big it really doesn't need to be calibrated. Portrait is a lot smaller so it kinda needed it.
