Lol I'm gonna get bashed for this, but y'all sound like boomers who have only ever used a smartphone on occasion. Or like people did back in the early 2010s before touchscreen phones got good.
You're all gonna sit there and tell me with a straight face those tiny ass buttons allow you to type faster than on a touchscreen smartphone? Maybe you're more accurate but there's no way you're faster, even then I'd still doubt the accuracy part because of the extremely small buttons placed so closely together.
Smartphone typers can write over a hundred words per minute and much much more with other keyboard input entry methods like swipe/swype.
I bet if we were to ask Gen Z or Gen Alpha to try those phones with keyboards they'd probably say they were trash and ask how we used them. Once you get used to using a touchscreen to type it really is better. I'm assuming most of y'all are light phone users that only use their phone for the occasional texting and app usage, not power users.
I didn't type faster. But the experience of pressing on physical keys was more satisfying somehow. Like with computers, how some people swear by mechanical keyboards from the feeling alone, even though those same people can type fast on regular keyboard too.
