Qwerty is good for emailing, internet browsing , chatting . Alphanumberic is good for the everyday use words.

I'm a touch typist, like most of us here I believe. It's odd and hard to adapt to using two fingers instead of 5 on actual Qwerty keyboard(which is why we have it, so we can blindly type).

I honestly wonder what's the plus point of Qwerty on mobile phone? We don't remember where the keys are, but instead on the real keyboard, we just put index finger on F and J, little finger on A etc. which is impossible to do on mobile phone.

I actually disagree. If you don't use your middle finger for F and J, then you're doing it wrong. Probably touch type by using self-rules which may not be very efficient (60-75 word per-minute?). Hence probably the reason you're able to move on to phone because the 'actual' rules don't apply. But it works for you, I guess this is Qwerty phone target users.
