While you can't quite touch type on a phone keyboard you can usually
use two fingers (or thumbs) to good effect. Yes the layout isn't quite
the same as a desktop keyboard but once you get used to it, I find
it's still faster than any on screen keyboard. Having to peck out one
character at a time is enough to put me off using on screen keyboards
altogether. Although I realise it's a bit subjective, iPad users seem
to manage with their flat touchscreen 'keyboards' just fine...
