My main point is that one of the iPhone's largest potential markets very much relies on a numeric keypad, and it would a pretty poor decision business-wise to omit one.
Except for pscates' mock-up, I think most people see a need for alphanumeric buttons, the question is: which is better for you, a number pad or a blackberry keyboard?
