This problem was solved 20 years ago when devices like the Blackberry popularized the miniature physical keyboard. Those interfaces were much easier to type on than these crap touch keyboards we've been given. Phone manufacturers told us these are better, but in reality it's just cheaper to make a software keyboard interface than it is to make a bunch of tiny buttons. The original IPhone "un-solved" the problem and then every phone company copied Apple because that's what they all do. And here we all are complaining about this like it's 2010 all over again.
