Which mode do you like to text on, Portrait or Landscape?

Portrait, the only time I use landscape is when I can't AirPlay whatever I want to watch on it

Always portrait mode, because I don't want to make the whole process harder by increasing the length my fingers have to move to hit the keys...

I personally like Portrait more, just because i prefer using my phone with one hand most of the time. But i am most definitely way faster and accurate on Landscape mode. being a ex blackberry user paid off :)

This is how you spot OG iPhone users. For the entire first year there was no such thing as the landscape keyboard (except in Safari).

Portrait all the time one handed most of the time and two handed sometimes. Never landscape.

Portrait here. It's just more natural for me. I've tried to tell myself to use landscape for typing but always forget when the time actually comes.

Unless I am in a noisy environment or dont want to be over heard, I use Siri to text. Portrait otherwise.

Landscape, almost always. That's why I want to see the iPhone 6 with a wider screen.

The 5/5$ in landscape isn't as wide as you need to type on?

Portrait with one or two hands. I don't think I've ever sent a text in landscape mode.

Portrait only here. I've tried Landscape on the iPhone but it's just not big enough for me to have too.

I always use portrait, unless I'm in a game or something that makes me use landscape to put in my email, it doesn't make much sense either because i feel like I'm more accurate in landscape mode.
