I have a question: how do you cope with on-screen keyboard, when screen is small? I'd like to have a phone which doesn't take too much space in a pocket, but I found that below 5.5" I have too much struggle typing. Should we ask for a physical kbd (say N900 style) if we want a new phone anyway?

I use MessagEase, which is just fantastic for quick and accurate typing.

I have a 3" inch jelly2 and typing, while often annoying for something like urls, is overall ok. For regular texting text to speech works pretty well and the slide to type feature is pretty solid too.

But to be fair I bought it to spend less time on my phone, and the annoyances that it does have make the choice easy lol

Swipe typing.

This is the way

I used 9x4 Thai keyboard layout on my 3.7" Nexus One. I mastered it and reached 40wpm without autocorrect/suggestions. After upgrading to 4.7" Nexus 4 I found that the screen is too big and I'd have to use swipe keyboard. I don't think I ever reached 40wpm again.

Then again, that was when in high school. Maybe my fingers grew bigger.

I have a somewhat larger phone, but I just don't type much on my phone. I only really use it for communication of logistics with people if I'm not home, or typing in addresses to navigate to, etc. Otherwise I wait until I have access to a real keyboard.

Due to my aversion of taking my electronics over international borders, I went on vacation a few years ago with a flip phone (LTE still), and found that T9 was too inconvenient for even basic logistics, so got a secondary Android phone after that.
