In the last couple of days I've noticed that the iPhone is starting to "hang" while I'm typing and email. The Big Letters which verify you which key you're hitting stop popping up for a several seconds. Then it continues and the typing catches up.
When this first happened I was pausing and waiting for it.. sometimes hitting the same key over and over.. then when it un-hangs, all those letters would quickly "type" onto my email.
I finally figured out that if you just keep typing as if nothing happened it will "cache" the keystrokes. Then when it un-hangs, whatever you typed will catch up with you, even correcting words that were previously mistyped along the way. Last night this was happening quite a lot and I was unable to type enough to fill the cache.
While it's "technically" fine because it doesn't lose any keystrokes, it's so annoying that most people will be stumped by it. It takes jedi-like focus to keep typing with no audio or picture feedback that it's getting your keystrokes.
