You probably know how fast you can blaze up a regular keyboard, and maybe you've even taken a typing test on a more traditional mobile keyboard found on Windows Mobile or BlackBerry handsets - but how fast are you on your iPhone's virtual keyboard? iPhoneTypingTest.com ought to help you answer that question, as it does just what its name suggests: the site (which recommends you use it in landscape mode for optimum visual layout) presents a text entry box that, once tapped on, will allow you to re-type the text that appears above the box in an effort to test your iPhone typing speed. It's a simple system that seems to work well; on my first try in portrait mode (I personally find the landscape keyboard too wide to work with) I scored 21 wpm with "some error(s)," and second try I nabbed 31.

How good of an iPhone typist are you? Be honest - your web honor is at stake.

Thanks Georgia

To all Apple enthusiasts from another Apple enthusiast: Please stop responding to forum trolls. They only come here to egg you on and know damn well how to get under your skin. Just let it go.

We come here because we enjoy it, don't let some douche ruin your good time with their weak ideas and thoughts.

And when you're really feeling heated by iPod/iPhone haters, just try and remind yourself of their own hypocrisy. They hate something that has acceptance of the masses yet they use Windows, the absolute number one product on the planet accepted by the masses.

Best I could do was 23wpm, which I was happy with, but most of the time I was in the high teens.

Is there a way to block the incessant, whiny comments complaining about iPhone posts on this blog?

I'm faster at typing with my index finger than with both thumbs. Everyone tells me it will be faster if I use both thumbs, but in reality I don't truly care. I am still in the "honeymoon" stage with my iPhone where everything is fantastic! :)

I prefer typing in portrait mode. Since most apps use a vertical keyboard I have gotten used to the key spacing.

I averaged in the 30's.

Martin, we've posted a way to do that several times, but you can see how to see all non-iPhone posts on the iPhone page: tuaw.com/iphone

It doesn't work in Firefox, but it works on my Nokia E62 (which reports its user agent as AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413)

My speeds were about 30.
