Do You Prefer Keyboard Input for Your Smart Phone? Many Do, it Seems

Poll results
A non-scientific Web poll of users by Nokia suggests that though touch screens are the preferred input method in the United States, uses in other markets prefer a keyboard, Nokia reports.

Some 49 percent of survey respondents indicated they preferred a keyboard for input, while 35 percent preferred touch screens.

Users in European countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Finland were voted by a clear majority for the Qwerty keyboard.

U.S. users preferred touch screens, though. Some 47 percent of U.S. respondents preferred a touch screen. Some 33 percent preferred a keyboard.

Users in  the Philippines, which has the fastest growing smart phone market in Asia, also tend to prefer keyboards. Some: 40 percent of respondents from the Philippines said they preferred a keyboard, while 30 percent preferred a touch screen.

A separate poll also suggests the wide range of activities the Internet access function supports. As the data suggests, smart phones are multiple function devices, used to support a wide range of applications.
