nokia 3660 goes back to classic keypad

i just noticed that the new nokia 3660, the successor to the 3650, will be going back to the classic 3 x 3 keyboard layout from the circular keypad layout on the 3650. anyone know why exactly?

perhaps the circular design turned some people off. i actually kind of liked the circular keypad. i think it made double thumb text entry a little easier, once you got used to it.

with all the usability testing nokia is known to do, i'm surprised they retreated so quickly. i wonder if they will still offer both versions in all markets.
