Polish phone keypads - roman alphabet?

This is a design question on keyboards and keypads.

Do Polish computers have a US/UK style "qwerty" keyboard with the letters "Q", "V" & "X" or are those keys replaced by something else?

Do all Polish telephone keypads have the unused letters "Q", "V" & "X" or are other letters ever substituted?

Generally it's all the same, it's pretty rare to find a keyboard with polish letters. Phone keyboards are just the same as everywhere in Europe - you may find more leters added but still its not very common.

Thanks, you confirmed my suspicions of "one keyboard fits all".
Now I only have to solve the mystery of why numeric/calculator pads are inverted compared to phone pads and I might see some logic in keyboard layout...

It might have sth to do with sequence of letters in alphabet i suppouse :) It would be strange to have "a" letter at the bottom :> But i'm just guessing. That would be the answer for question why phone keyboard are inverted compared to calculator/numeric :)

So answer to your question might be ... numeric is much older than phone keyboard and thats how they developed it and thats how it still is.

I probably would have gone through my whole life not noticing this. Now I want to know the answer too.
