I have always been in the "I want a small phone that can make calls" camp. However, for a work project, I had to get a bulky smart phone that comes with a QWERTY keyboard.

I thought that it would be so much nicer to type on that versus the cryptic IntelliSense on the numeric keyboard. It is sad that my nephew can spell any word (well, shortened word) in numbers now.

What I found strange was the way my brain worked. As I typed I was looking for the letters on the keys. What the hell? I type enough to fill a book on a daily basis yet I can't just touch type on the thing? It turned out that it took me awhile to retrain my brain that "although this is a small mobile device, do not think T9!".
