it wasn’t just the keyboard for me. phone browsers pre iphone were just absolute garbage with joke rendering engines. you were lucky to get a functional mobile site, let alone trying to render the desktop version. iphone was using the same rendering engine as desktop safari, which wasn’t perfect but miles better than whatever the hell blackberry or sidekick were using.
I still logged in to Facebook on the number pad back in the day. If you told me I had to use a touchscreen I’d say I’d rather get a bigger physical keyboard because I need to feel what I’m typing and to see the whole site I’m typing in
