Hm, every cell phone I've had in the last 7 years has pqrs on 7, and wxyz
on 9. So do both my land line phones. At this point, I'd say this has
become the de facto standard. I do recall "qz" on the 0 key back in the
early 90's, but as noted, it didn't last.
This page is a good read, as well, and references the ITU standard
assigning "q" to 7 and "z" to 9:

"These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger
than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
