Phone Pad vs. Qwerty

[johnnyshinta]

Ok, so for all those who use the stock HTC keyboard or another keyboard that has the standard 9 tile phone pad. Do you use qwerty or do you use the old school T9?

I'm curious because i've had smart phones for several years now. Most of them having a full qwerty keyboard. some having a compact version.

but i find myself using the 9 tile phone pad keyboard. idk if its just easier for one handed typing or what.

so how many ppl go old school and T9 it up.

I use the compact qwerty keyboard, I just find that quicker to type on.

I've had QWERTY phones ever since I've had texting (for some reason I couldn't text at all before a texting plan was added to the account). I'm really bad a T9.

i had a blackberry pearl for a short while and hated the compact qwerty keyboard. but that could have just been the buttons. they sucked. i'll try it on my Inc.

anyone else want to contribute?

i find that the compact is really slow unless you are already use to it. i tried it and don't know where each letter is by heart. if i use it for a while i'm sure i'll get faster. but i am already use to the phone keypad.

anyone else

I use the qwerty. I was so happy to get away from T9 when I got a full keyboard and never looked back.

The compact qwerty is nice. I can really up my typing speeds with it, but it becomes a pain putting in people's names and passwords.

Compact here. Still like it over everything else, and I was fast on itap as for names and passwords just flip it sideways, what I do anyway.

I'm gonna go ahead and give the compact a try. I am wicked good with the T9 so hopefully in a few days I'll be doing well with the compact. Any tips for it?

sure, that's a possibility. But it is a pain to flip the phone over every time I want to enter in names and passwords.

Ok so I'm getting better with the compact. It's hot a steep learning curve when you're used to either qwerty or keypad. Not sure if I'm gonna stick with it tho
