Mobile Phone Keypads and Keyboards: Market Analysis and Forecasts The 12-digit keypad is the oldest and most ubiquitous handset input interface. Up until the early 2000s, the keypad enjoyed virtually 100% device penetration. The QWERTY keyboard is a relatively recent input interface, found on devices targeted at corporate and heavy messaging users, and has etched out a modest share of the global market. However, the handset market is evolving rapidly and ARCchart believes that penetration of phones with either a keypad or keyboard has now peaked.
In this report, ARCchart examines both keypad and keyboard interfaces on mobile phones, outlining their mode of operation, implementation on devices, impact on form factor, the main suppliers and the long-term market outlook for these two interfaces.
Topics of coverage include:
- Evolutions in handset interaction
- Handset input interface ecosystem
- Primary and secondary interfaces
- Keypad and keyboard impact on device form factor
- Innovations
- Predictive text
- Keypad anatomy
- Manufacturing processes and complexities
- Suppliers
- Forecast and outlook

Date Published: Jan 2010 * * * * * * Mobile Networks Saturation At a time where network
congestion leads to
dropped calls and
interruptions in Internet
access, this study presents
the mobile traffic
projections and capacity
evaluation of IDATE
experts’ based on several
case studies. The aim of
our in-depth analysis is to
determine the realities and
to provide different
scenarios for network
saturation up to 2015.
Key questions
- What are the lessons to be drawn from the sharp growth in mobile data traffic?
- What are the bottlenecks explaining the different forms of network saturation?
- congestion in the radio access network and spectrum issues,
- congestion in the backhauling network,
- congestion in the core network.
- What are the technical, marketing and strategic options available for mobile operators?
- How can 4G/LTE serve congestion issues?
- Traffic Model & Scenarios Conclusions are based on the results of an in-house model
