Default Test your Pre Typing Speed

I know that the average rating for the Pre's Keyboard is pretty high, but how fast can the average person type on the Keyboard? Some of the reviews of the Pre out there say that the Pre keyboard is small and hard to type on. If so then people wouldn't like it and would type horrible speeds. To test this I found a online typing test that would be easy to use on the Pre and tried it! The one I found is at Speed Typing Test. I found that it is better to tap 'next' until you come to a passage that is 2 or 3 line long. My best time on it was 34 wpm! Now how fast can you type????

Was pretty much stable at 29 wpm. I'll have to check back in a few weeks after I've had the pre longer than 3 days .

if i slow down a tad, i can do it with no errors. but the random semicolons and apostrophes really slowed me down, haha.

I lied in my answer to the poll question to thwart analysts.

27 and then 31; just got my Pre yesterday and still getting used to the keyboard, though it's not as hard to type on as I'd originally thought.
