I know I can just tap the screen, but so many times, it doesn't land the cursor right where I want to delete. Yes, I can go back, but that deletes everything. I just want to be able to move the cursor back to the part that I want to edit, add or delete.

Is this not possible on the DINC??
 
use your optical joystick to move back characters. tap somewhere near where you want, then use the joystick.

use the trackpad to move the cursor to whever you want it to be. you can also tap the text and it will place the cursor where you would like.
U know how MANY times I tried this and it only moved back 1 SPACE....But of course, NOW i try it and it works!!

LIFESAVERS!!! :D

Lol. I've notice that it doesn't work at times too. Not sure what cause it, but it happens rarely. The trackpad is very useful though.

U know what's funny...There's so many times that I look at it and say to myself, "what EXACTLY is your purpose bc I NEVER use you!!" Seriously though, what I think it SHOULD be used for, it isn't, and things I think it shouldn't be used for, it is...I NEVER use it.:eek:

yeah but I've had the situation where I typed this long text and I noticed I needed to go back and I clicked the area where I wanted the cursor to go and it wouldn't even come close, but I never tried the trackball, next time I'll give that a shot tho.

It's an UNFORTUNATE part of my genetic pool that I do NOT have PIANO FINGERS!!! This happens to me ALL the time. Almost 100% of the time, it doesn't go exactly where I want it to...trackball, HERE I COME!!!!!! :D
