I strongly agree. I've got a smartphone with a screen that's about 2.75 inches by 6.25 inches, yet the on-screen keyboard only takes up about the bottom quarter of that space. Although it does have an option to make the keyboard larger (so it takes about a third of the screen) it is not large enough.
That's why I went back to typing on the 12-key phone pad like the one on my flip phone. While it seems slower to type on, it's actually faster because with the small keys I was often tapping the wrong keys (as an example: I want to type a "C" and I end up typing "X", "V", "D" or the space bar) that I have to go back and correct. With the 12-key pad when I want to type a "C" I actually get a "C".
The only issue I have with it is that for some reason they put "S" (a very common letter) on the 7 key so I have to tap it four times to get an "S". They should have put it on the "8" key as the first letter.
