A few years ago I was a crazy addicted to QWERTY phones, but after I switched to Jolla 1 I realised that if a phones screen size is > 4" the sw kbd is good enough and adding a psychical keyboard just makes it too bulky.

That said it's not a fair comparison as my experience comes from an addon keyboard (TOHKBD2).

I hope that my view towards QWERTY phones will change in the future. maybe we'll a slim qwerty phone with e-ink keypads.
That would makes it much easier to make a single phone design across a wider area.
