So if all this work was done to determine that the phone layout is simply better than the calculator layout... why the fuck are we still using the calculator layout on anything?
And screw you OP for bringing this up. Now I want to remap my 10-key to phone layout to see if that's "better"... I already had important stuff to do this weekend that I'm totally going to ignore now because this irrationally bothers me that I didn't realize this before.

As someone who types dvorak, and who is just waiting for the /dev/tty dvorak / colemak specific keys to arrive for their new full size keyboard... This really shouldn't be tempting, damn it!
