Well it is no longer on which is better basis but on which is in vogue basis. So whether physical keyboard is better for you or not, technology has naturally adjusted the preference (now better) to onscreen, or do you want to be tagged old school when you say that physical is better?

On screen navigation key is a very BIG turn off for me.....

Re: Physical Or On-screen Buttons: Which Is Better? by Whizpeter(m): 8:16am On Sep 25, 2015

why do you like the physical key?

Cos I can always put on screen keys on my screen if I want 'em, but if I go for the On screen keys, I obviously can't put Physical keys when I finally need them...

Some of you guys are very funny.

Now the question is "Onscreen Keyboard or Physical"

Some of you say you can get 'onscreen keyboard on a physical keyboard phone' but cant get 'physical keyboard on a touchscreen phone'

Please think. Can you get onscreen keys on a Bold 5, Curve 2,3,4,5 etc. ?

I guess no! Then why come up with such reasons?

Now, I think the correct question should be;
Physical Keyboard Phones or Touchscreen Phone, which do you prefer.

Physical rocks. But it's seems onscreen is coming to stay. Besides, my new phone is onscreen and I'm gonna like it too. I like both.

Hardware keys rock. Way less intrusive than the soft-key counterpart. One of the reasons I'll always pick Samsung smartphones over any other brand is because of the unique hard-key layout, which is present even on their tabs.

I used to love physical buttons till I bought an Lg g3. On screen buttons are so cool especially when the phone has very little bezels.
