Not the same thing. Size... But eventually hardware keyboards will disappear for computers as we know it today, yes. And computer input will evolve.

I'm cool with everything in your ideal phone except the hardware button below the screen. I wouldn't mind more buttons around the device. But I'd rather not have any buttons take away from screen space like older android phones do. Even the gemini pda does that a bit.

Since it’s much faster type on a software keyboard...when it comes to small phones.

Is it more for visibility and general feeling?

No, you can type with hw qwerty while driving, without looking to keyboard. It's much slower to watch and write with software keyboard.

Jeah, we should bring our case to the EU.

"Special exception for use of mobile phones with hardware keyboard and proven ability to blindly operate the device while driving"

It is somehow unfair that only Finnish residents seem to have this right. :D
Is this a remnant of the formative Nokia era?

Man, you should obviously not even have a phone at all :D

Get out of the car, sir!
Drop that QWERTY, you are under arrest due to your weapon of choice.

Jesus I would have had a heart attack. My life (and Quim Gil's nokia device programme manager face) would have flashed before my eyes!

Hope he is doing fine. But he left Nokia, Nokia left maemo so I don’t see any real reason for him to stay.

Not sure what he is doing now, though!
