How many WPM can you type on your BB (QWERTY only)

Safiy · #1 11-21-2008 -

Ok so I noticed that most BB addicts can type pretty fast on thier BB's. I can do about 17 WPM. Whats funny is I only can type about 30 on a standard keyboard, and i'm getting faster on my BB. Anyway I was wondering about how many WPM can other people do.

Do you have a test for this? Or are you timing yourself?~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

stopwatch. a friend timed me. Basically my friends tease me all the time about being able to type "fast as hell" on my BB. That would be a cool app for the BB though. Hmm?

Somebody really needs to make a typing tutor program that you can use to do WPM testing.

I think I would be up their because I type without looking with a good steady speed.

If wonder if someone could do something like this TypingTest.com and program it with the JAVA standard our BB's understand?

The links i found are dead, or just talk. This used to exist at one point. What happened I wonder? Anyway this may work. You could type a letter for 1 min, check the amount of bytes the file has that you typed (bytes= key presses) and do the "standard" conversion manually. Type in the number of key presses(bytes) divide by number of seconds it took to type then multiply by 12.

this conversion method was observed on a number of sites.
