seldo writes "The illustrious BBC has a story about a new mobile phone keypad, designed by a company called Digit Wireless, headed by one Mr David Levy, who "was head of ergonomic design at Apple for five years and was influential in the layout of its Powerbook laptops," according to the article. I don't know how it is to use, but it looks really funky. There's a demo on the site (javascript popup, so no link). The sooner I don't have to deal with the stupid 3-letters-per-button interface to send SMS, the better."

I have enough trouble hitting the right keys already. Now they're throwing letters in there? This ain't my day.

Between a few large keys and many little micro keys.
But the large keys always win because of the infamous "Wurstfinger" phenomena.
