I loathe touchscreen typing and am terrible at it, even 15 years later. I got up to 60 words per minute on my BlackBerry Bold, and I'm ~30 wpm on my phone when you factor in the many mistakes I make along the way.

Touchscreen-everything is the worst legacy of Steve Jobs. It's annoying on phones and has probably killed quite a few people in cars.

You can't blame Steve Jobs for that. Perhaps you can blame the absence of Steve for the proliferation of capacitive touch screens where they are not suited. I believe Steve would've known better, at least in the automotive world.

More on-topic, I'm also terrible at typing on my phone. I find my self leaving messages unattended to until I can find a physical keyboard from which to reply from.
