What's the Best Input Interface for Mobile Device?

I’ll start with one simple question, “Do you satisfy with your existing mobile device?”. I guess most people would say not really. One of the reason is regarding the input interface of the device. Most of the time people doesn’t put this into consideration when buying a mobile device. Nokia recently running a poll about this.

The question of the poll is, “What’s your perfect mobile input interface”. Nokia names few type of user such as purely a texter, an all-calling, all-surfing, all app-downloading but the ideal choice surely depends on what people need to achieve. The vote was started at the beginning of this week and still open. I just made a vote and so far the result is not much defferent with what Nokia team got few times ago.

Most people voted the “Touchscreen combined with QWERTY keyboard” as the most perfect input interface followed by “Compact QWERTY” on the second place. And the interesting is the “Touchscreen” doesn’t event voted as the third which is the “Numeric keypad”. So for those of you who has a touchscreen device, you better think once again whether you have chosen the best device as what you need.

Nokia use a Video Polling with Nokia devices as the sample. But i’m sure this also represented another brand and model of mobile devices. Nokia didn’t mentioned exactly how many people has participated on the poll but they only said hundreds. Check also the video below of the upcoming Nokia device N97 which will have a touchscreen combined with the QWERTY keyboard.
