On mobile, perhaps, where you're pecking at a keyboard like a chicken, but with a keyboard it's easier to type.

I find it the opposite to be honest, but probably only because I'm using swype on mobile.

It's easy to hit random characters when touch typing on a full keyboard, but it's much easier to just swipe a couple words together in the url bar than it is to get the correct capitalization as well as having to hold down the key for about a second each time you need a number.

If I need a number, I just swipe down from the letter that the number appears under. No press-and-hold needed. Does that not work on your phone?
