Here is me being stupid!
Why do they call it a QWERTY keyboard. All of the other possibilities like ASDFGH or ZXCVBN and they choose QWERTY why don't they just say, "Hey man this phone has a full keyboard" Then the customer (stupid as ussual) wouldn't say what's QWERTY
...
because then customers would ask whats a full keyboard look like...or how full is the keyboard. face it we are dealing with retards
...
how bout just keyboard? if they don't know what that is.. they don't need a phone with one.. but i hear ya.
...
When you look at a QWERTY keyboard u will notice even on your desktop and laptop Q-W-E-R-T-Y are the first 6 letters on the keyboard.
...
Cuz they would want to know how they are supposed to get a FULL keyboard in there pocket and it they have to ask what a Qwerty keyboard is they should probably get a different phone 🤣
...
well, there are several "full keyboards" out there ... i'm thinking the normal format for keypads is called QWERTY since, when looking at the keyboard, QWERTY appears in the top left corner, which is where most people start reading from.
now ... take for instance the keyboard on the blackberry pearl, this is a "full keyboard" with all necessary keys and whatnot.
so ... yeah ... in yo face nucka!

That's a bit of a valid point really and a better answer than any I have seen so far to the actual question.
They are the first six letters on the top left and it's also a combination that (kinda) forms a word that you can use and say. Try saying "asdfgh" or "zxcvbn" just doesn't make sense, qwerty does.

The QWERTY keyboard layout was originally designed for typewriters with the letters arranged stratigically so that the typewriter keys wouldn't jam or get stuck when someone used them. So the letters Q W E R T and Y ending up next to each other was the byproduct of this arrangment (or so I heard).
...
That absolutely makes sense, I can see that having used a manual type writing myself many times.
The lettering was really just a happy coincidence that it spelled something that vaguely resembled a word so we use it to describe the layout.

Because someobody, somewhere, will one day make a Dvorak(sp?) layout instead and then they'll have to try and spell/say that instead.
...
I guess a Dvorak kb would be easier to say and possibly use than a Chrplyewich kb....
it's pronounced crip-LEV-ich for the non-polish out there

Lol, good one! 🤣
...
umm prolly cuz thats what that design kb has been called since the 80s....

Its called QWERTY cause its the top six letters on the left hand side of the keyboard, you would use with your left hand Q W E R T Y, dont ask me who came up with it but yay there it is.

Because a QWERTY keyboard is different than an ANSI keyboard. There are a few different formats for keyboards. QWERTY is standard because it was developed to slow typists down so that they wouldn't jam there typewritters, It just never really changed. There is at least one other format that is designed for efficiency now that computers don't jam while typing, if I remember correcly, it's called ANSI.

I know. That wasn't a speculative statement.
