Title: Wikipedia on WHY keypads and telephones have different numbers (bottom to top).

I'm really annoyed by this case.
 
At work I always use the Numpad and the Telephone and I find myself misstyping many times on the telephone :loco:

I make so many mistakes trying to dial numbers on my phone at work because of this; it's just plain silly.

I used to have a telephone that had the keypad-style numpad...it was VERY cool...
People using it always commented.

I hope my ex-girlfriend likes it enough to justify her taking it...

Of course it took me a while to figure out what was wrong with my Smartrex keyboard.
