Video poll – What’s your perfect mobile input interface? QWERTY, touchscreen, voice command…?

GLOBAL – Some thought the proliferation of touchscreen phones, such as the Nokia 5800, would mark the demise of the trusty key-push QWERTY keypad. Nothing could be further from the truth, with QWERTY input interfaces proving extremely relevant both on the starch-shirted end of the spectrum with the Nokia E71 and the low-slung-jeaned scene with the keenly awaited Nokia 5730 XpressMusic.

Of course your ideal method of communicating with your device entirely depends on what you need to achieve, but whether you’re purely a texter, or an all-calling, all-surfing, all app-downloading sort of user, we want to know what your ideal set-up is.

We’ve even spiced things up a bit on the poll front by adding in some video examples. Click through and click now to ensure your vote is counted.
