More Phones With Keyboards
Nobody wants just a phone anymore. The idea that all your phone does is receive incoming calls and allows you to make outgoing calls is practically primative. Instead, we all want phones that act as IM devices, email clients, games systems, music players, still cameras, video cameras and more.
In trying to accomadate our desires, the phone manufacturers have been experimenting with ways to incorporate keyboards into our phones. Because, let's face it, no matter how "smart" the software is, trying to type an email on a regular phone pad sucks.
LG's F1900 is aimed more at the power texter than the power user, which means that it sports a QWERTY keyboard and comes preloaded with AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo Messenger. It doesn't have Bluetooth, a large LCD screen, a built-in digital camera, or even a proper smartphone operating system. Available now from Cingular.

Once upon a time I worked for Aerial Communications (1997) and we had a Nokia Model that flipped open and had a keboard. If you have seen the movie "The Saint" with Val Kilmer he uses it in the movie.
Anyway, we have come a long way!
And to finish, I am a native LI'er stuck in the Midwest now.
Damn, I want this phone for its low price. I really want to start blogging from my cell phone, but for some reason my Text messages are cut off when they get to my blog. This sucks! >:|
