It's sad that basically anybody can type faster on a 15-year-old blackberry than on the latest and greatest touchscreen-keyboard phone.

Is typing on a touchscreen phone really that difficult for people? I did a Monkeytype test just now on my iPhone. I got 50WPM in the 30 second test. For comparison, I get about 100WPM when I type on a regular computer keyboard.

I feel like getting 50% typing speed isn't so bad, and I doubt I would get a lot better than that with physical buttons. Generally I'd rather have more screen real estate.

That said, I definitely prefer physical buttons for games.
