The telephone was invented b4 the calculator, so the keypad for the telephone was arranged so alphabet characters were used as part of the phone number would be in normal sequence. You should ask your self, why is the calculator keypad reversed? Because it was easier for the accountants or bankers, anybody working with numbers. The numbers they use the most were lower numbers(0,1,2,or 3), so it would be easier for them if the lower numbers would be on the bottom of the keypad instead of being on the top like the telephone keypad.

Better question is how do you keep an idiot busy for 24 hrs?  Put them in a room with a calculator and a telephone and tell them to tell you which is which!
