With touchscreen phones becoming more and more popular, physical keyboards seem to be disappearing quickly. Is it important to you that your cell phone have a physical keyboard, or do you prefer to text on a virtual QWERTY keyboard?

Re: Physical Keyboards
I would rather text on a physical keyboard than on a virtual one, but I will still buy a phone without a physical keyboard if all the other specs are really good.

Re: Physical Keyboards
That's a great question.
I used to prefer physical keyboards, but with the larger screens, and better keyboard on Android, I am fine with the touchscreen keyboard now.
I'm sure there are still people that prefer physical keyboards so I hope they keep making a decent amount of phones with them.

Re: Physical Keyboards
Personally, I prefer to text on a virtual QWERTY keyboard over a physical one, because the last few phones that I tried with physical keyboards were low quality. I don't mean that the phone itself was low quality - just the keyboard. It was like the keys were too shallow or something, because they didn't press well and I'd find myself accidentally pressing other keys aside from the ones I was trying to press.

Re: Physical Keyboards
If there was a phone with a large, easy to type on, sturdy keyboard, would you still prefer the virtual keyboard, or would you choose to use the better built physical keyboard?
If there was a decent physical keyboard I might be willing to try it. I would need to see if it would help me type faster and more accurately or not. If not, I'd probably just stick with the virtual keyboard that I'm used to.

Re: Physical Keyboards
Thanks for the responses, everyone. For a long time, I wouldn't buy a cell phone without a physical keyboard on it, but it seems like the virtual keyboard/virtual texting technology has come a long way, so I've finally let the physical keyboard phones go in favor of virtual keyboards. It took me so long to get used to a virtual keyboard, though!

Re: Physical Keyboards
When I changed from a blackberry to a iphone, it was very strange beacuse I couldn't feel the keybpard. I habe got use to it, but still miss the physical side of the keyboard being there
