I’ve actually been searching for mobile-based typing speed tests that work with the iPhone, WinMo, Symbian, and Blackberry, but I have come up empty handed.

I really want to find an online typing test that works across platforms, but the only tests Ive found are designed for AJAX capable handsets or for the iPhone. Also, I wish there was a speed test that allows you to post to a link on the site that returns typing speeds scores.

That last part is really important because I can type upwards of 54wpm on my iPhone as long as I’m not trying to type any emote or other wacky characters (capitalization and pronouns are fine). But, without a linkable site to prove my score, I’m sure no one believes me.

Wow, are you serious? While driving even? Well then I stand corrected. Let’s all pitch our iPhone’s in the fire cause we can’t type really fast while driving. Just kidding. I would love to see some full on test with the OVERALL speed of accessing things on different platforms. Not just SMS texting typing speeds.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Care to post your speed results? iphonetypingtest.com.

Don’t feel too bad. These usability studies are garbage through and through, and I’m almost certain the research never takes place at all.

You can be the fastest iPhone typist, but I’ll best your speeds on T9 for sure, without looking, and with one hand less…while driving.

great article. I’m sure the truth will rise to the surface when iPhones virtual keyboard has been around for as long as those funky mini plastic ones have. I just wish apple would allow landscape mode for text input or more apps like the SMS messaging.
