    Special characters suck in on-screen keyboards

    Not as much as they do on physical keyboards with their “hold alt-gr and hope” approach.

      My favorite phone was the Galaxy S Relay, which featured a sliding, 5-row thumbboard. Numbers, letters, period, comma, and question mark were all available without alt or fn keys. The number row had !@$#%^&*() with the shift key, just like actual keyboards.

      It even had four arrow keys for cursor navigation!

      I absolutely loved that phone.

        I guess I was thinking of “special characters” like Ł, ñ, ă and such.
