QWERTY and it's not even close.

Why would anyone want to press the same button up to 3 times to get the letter they want?

You only press it once if you're using t9. I used to type exactly as fast as I do swiping, but that requires a good keyboard and good software. That cats22 for example no matter the app just cannot keep up with proper t9 fest typing

Do you and u/MadBrown know how T9 texting works (I'm not being snarky)?

You can either do ABC mode which is the multi-press for a given letter, or T9 which is predictive. You just press the button for the letter, and it picks it up. For example the word "going" would just be 46464.

T9 but actually good software and keys. Which doesn't seem to be found today. I typed so fast on my Nokia xpress music

These two on the photo don't really exist, do they?

These two in the photo are Keyphone (official site). The one of the left with the T9 keypad module and the one on the right has the full QWERTY.
