Motorola introduced its Droid X which doesn’t have a physical keyboard. It is notable, that this feature will greatly distinguish a new Droid “clever” phone from the rest of Droids. Why did the company make such a sudden move to phones without a keyboard?
Here everything is obvious: the phone is equipped with 4.3-inch screen which makes this device bulk enough. If a physical keyboard were added here the device would be too inconvenient to use.
If we trace the history of touch screen keyboards back we’ll see that Apple was the pioneer of this modern trend. It used this technology for the first time in its iPhones in 2007. At that time such keyboards were considered to be weird and not so convenient to use, that’s why the demand for them was not so high.
Currently the attitude to virtual and physical keyboards has changed greatly. Such high-end phones as Palm Pre, original Droid, Blackberry phones and others lose their points in ratings in comparison with complete touch-screen devices.
Even smartphone producers started to give their preference to full-length touch screens. Windows Phone 7 is a vivid example of such a shift in a company’s policy. Microsoft is sure that it is better to have a full-length touch screen than an inconvenient bulky physical keyboard.
