[He pulls it closer, but there's an eye now. You wanted to see an eye, right?] And just how are you supposed to tell if it is working?
[He sighs before holding it a little farther away.] Well, I do not know if it is working. This thing is unusual at best. I suppose I might as well make an introduction. Hello.

And yeah, it is, but with practice you sort of get used to it. But you can also turn the phone on its side to get a bigger keyboard.
[And he flips his phone to show that as well.]
Some people find that a little easier.

[One must always 'pay it forward' as the youth seem to be in the habit of sayin'. Or perhaps that is simply Waverly pullin' his leg.]
Oh. That is useful. My eyesight is still quite keen, but sometimes it helps to be able to see clearly.
[He follows suit on his own phone, trying to type, which is taking a longer time than it likely would if he was used to this, but that's no matter. Eventually he manages something. And with the punctuation! Though, the spelling leaves much to be desired and...]
How do you stop it from changin' words to other words?
