      They keep getting worse, too. I loved my Galaxy Relay. I bought a Moto Z because someone was making a keyboard backplate for it… And they killed off the project a few months later.

      The only thing worse than the on screen keyboard is Blackberry’s physical keyboard. Give me some kind of slider.

      T9 (the old number keyboard) was the best layout: compact yet VERY usable. And with physical keyboards you could text someone blindly.

      I just installed Traditional T9 to replace whatever that MS keyboard was (the swipe feature was nice, but I’m not sure it can beat T9).

        Not sure how you can want a layout that takes 3-4 button presses to type some characters but sure I guess.
