Phone or qwerty keyboard

[johnnyshinta]

So which do you prefer? I like both and can't decide. The phone style is good for one handed texting which I do a lot. But it's terrible for doing searches, passwords, and URL's. But the qwerty is harder one handed.

You're thoughts?

I can't use anything but the standard qwerty layout, I'm just too used to it. I've been using the new SwiftKey X and it's awesome. It has settings for typing styles - precise or rapid (read: sloppy) and with the sloppy setting I just peck away and it virtually always corrects all my mistakes.

With Smart Keyboard Pro & Swiftkey X I prefer On Screen qwerty, but I'd maybe consider a full slide out 5 Row QWERTY like on the Droid 3.

I find SwiftKey a bit laggy

When you say phone style do you mean the old style where you'd use T9 input on your phone's number keys? I always hated that. I got a qwerty as soon as the Treos came out and never looked back. The old way was always a stopgap solution, and I felt a very awkward one. Qwerty FTW.

As for screen qwerty vs hard qwerty, I still miss hard qwerty. I made almost no errors on my old Treos and could type like the wind. Now between no tactile difference between one key and the next, and fighting with the *******ed autocorrect, typing is a frustrating chore. I've found that the keyboard you use does matter (I've settled on Better Keyboard 8 after trying numerous ones), but that any of them are still inferior (for me) to hard keyboards.

Yes I'm referring to the old T9

Yes some people still use it. Helps with one handed typing.
