The dot is so that you can feel the 5 key. If you know your finger is on the 5, you should be able to locate the other keys without seeing the printed letters on the keypad. It's the same reason why your keyboard has a few raised spots on it.

it's for blind people, so they know what numbers they are dialling. same applies to the keyboard.
