That second quote was actually from a response to Part 1 but I put it here with the other.
I had thought about including "spells something on phone keypads" as one of the factors that can increase a numerics value, but I just haven't seem much evidence of that... yet. Maybe there have been one or two sales to end users because of this meaning, but I don't know of much evidence that it has affected reseller prices for numerics relative to each other.
Really this whole issue is a huge wild-card -- it could be a REALLY big boost for numeric domains or it could turn out to be a very small factor. I think it's still too early to tell, but maybe people on this board have a different opinion or have special knowledge about this.
One thing about .mobi though: I think that .com will ALWAYS be king, at least until my I'm so old they make me give up salt. The only way .mobi could gain traction is if phones come pre-configured to automatically add ".mobi" to the end of domain names and email addresses, like some browsers add .com to the end of words to make them resolve.
