1- A letter isn't entered until you lift your finger off a key. So if you touch a wrong key by accident when typing, simply slide your finger to the one you meant to type. Let go when the correct letter or symbol appears.

2-While Apple's auto-correction feature is useful, many iPhone users often find themselves accidentally accepting a suggested word when they didn't mean to. There are two things to keep in mind to prevent this from happening:

a) To accept a suggested word you either type a space, punctuation mark or hit return.

b) To reject the keyboard's correction finish typing the word your want and then tap on the word itself. I know that's a little inconvenient, but it works. Do that twice and the iPhone adds the word to its dictionary.

If you want to start from scratch with the dictionary, say it has accepted and is now suggesting a number of wrongly spelled words, you can reset it. To do this go into settings from the home page, hit general, and tap reset. Once there, tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary. This will erase all the words you've added.

3) Its easy enough to capitalize a letter, right? Simply hit the up-arrow (Shift) key next to the letter Z before you tap a letter. But what if you want to capitalize a whole word?

a) To do that you must first go into Settings on the home page, hit General, and then Keyboard.

b) Turn Enable Caps Lock on.

Now when you double tap the Shift key before typing, all letters you then type will be uppercase. The Shift turns blue in this mode. A single tap will still only cause a single letter to be capitalized.

4) This is also where you can turn off Auto-Capitalization, which is on by default to capitalize the first word of every sentence, off.

5) The keyboard automatically appears when you go to enter text into a form on a Web page in the iPhone's Safari Web browsers. Conveniently, you can hit the blue Go or Search key, whichever appears depends on the type of form, when you're finished entering the text to submit what you've entered.

Sometimes you may want to close the keyboard before submitting the information in the form. To do this, simply tap the Done key just above the keyboard on the upper-right hand side.

6) If you hold down the E, Y, U, I, O, A, S,L, Z, C, or N key for more than a couple of seconds, the keyboard will offer up anywhere from 2 to 9 additional characters for you to choose from. These additional characters mostly include these letters with various forms of accents.
