I think real tests = controlled usability studies with more than one user. i.e. those are somewhat off from being real tests, even though it is certainly passionate text from a passionate user. Believe me, I've seen real tests and test results, and in average qwerty is much faster than T9. Yes, you can develop to be a hardcore T9 typer, but just the same way I could do my test (being a rather quick E71 typist) and find my E71 typing speed crush my N95 typing speed.

And yes, that would be a flawed test, but it is just as flawed as his test.
