I agree that "Pop-up virtual keyboard" or somesuch is better.

I regret to say (since I also dislike the cellphone-like number entry)
that this setting only controls whether said popup keyboard comes up
when Enter/OK is pushed. There is no current way to disable cellphone
entry except by flipping the virtual keyboard on, so you want this
setting set to the default On setting, not off.
