intel made a prototype keyboard for a phone like device that supposedly makes it easier to type text on it...though i can see problems where the keys would press themselves accidently and things like that.

As long as T9 is still implemented, I think it'll be better. I dunno how much, but I don't it will hurt either.

T9 is an intelligent text entry system. You hit certain letters, and it tries to guess the most likely word. In the case of existing cell phones, you punch the number of the letter once, then the next, and it tries to constuct a word, but with a keyboard like Intel, the intelligence would generally just attempt to auto-complete words.
