I never consciously realized that the phone button layout was different than the calculator/number-pad layout. Weird! I'm curious whether I've misdialed numbers because of that.



I've lost my credit card due to that. ATMs have phone layout and i entered my pin using numpad layout three times T_T.


Came here to comment the same thing, I can almost blindly type these things out, but the change in the format has caught me out a few times.

My portable GPS unit by default has the ABC layout keyboard, that is just as annoying to use when you are used to QWERTY!


This causes frequent but barely-traceable errors in math classrooms, in my experience.
