I prefer a physical keyboard that literally disappears when I'm not using it.
Seriously, your question is bad because it ignores the inherent trade-offs in the decision. An on-screen keyboard isn't easier or faster to type on, but it allows for a larger screen and probably cheaper manufacturing costs.
You have to mention the trade-offs if you want useful information from your question. More like: Would you rather have a powerful engine that gets mediocre gas milage, or a mediocre engine that gets great gas milage?
Otherwise you'll just get everyone saying they want the powerful engine.

- ajross 18y agoBut that phone design, too, has tradeoffs. It's thicker, and more failure prone. This isn't an either/or subject you can poll. It's OK to ask if someone prefers the iPhone or a Blackberry. But you can't just separate the keyboard feature and get a meaningful answer.
