The Microsoft Windows Phone probably failed because we forgot to give it a real keyboard.
-Balmer
No he didn't really say that, it's a joke on how he laughed about the iPhone not having a real keyboard.
They gave the Kin phones keyboards. Remember those? Probably not.
I admit I didn't until you mentioned them.
Windows phone keyboard was leaps and bounds ahead of iOS and Android. I still miss that keyboard. Swiftkey on android just isn't the same.
I was just about to post that there were Android phones with keyboards too, but I looked it up to be sure, and by god they are clumsy and ugly in comparison.
Personally I love the screen keyboard solution, I find it very elegant and handy. But I admit I need a big screen for it, but I also like the bigger screen in general better anyway.
