Fastap Will Make Texting Easier?
Fastap designed a new keyboard and LG Electronics has integrated into their AX490 camera phone in Canada. The new keyboard is supposed to make texting easier, but does it?
I know that I had to learn how to text with my Treo, even though it was set up like a QWERTY keyboard. My fingers know where the keys are on a full-size keyboard, but my thumbs didn’t. I had to learn all over again. The thing that bothered me the most was all the punctuation was crammed on a couple of buttons. I’m Old School. I actually use punctuation, correctly spelled words and (shocker!) capitalization when I text. Having all the punctuation packed into a couple of buttons is a negative for me, but maybe not for others.
No matter which phone you get, you’ll have to learn all over again, so the jury is still out of this new keyboard design for phones.
