We reported a few weeks ago that BlackBerry Connect was coming to the Motorola MPx220 via Vodafone in South Africa. At the time, however, we didn’t think about experience of sending email from a wireless device with a standard cell phone style numeric keyboard. I have been a supporter of SureType technology found on the 710x series BlackBerry devices if you primarily read email and don’t compose a lot of long emails. I also think that trying to respond on a numeric keyboard, even for short messages, would absolutely suck.
If anyone has experience sending emial from a numeric keyboard, please, feel free to leave a comment and let us know if it is better than what I think it is.
You’re right about it. I do send email from my cellphone once in a while, more often via MMS instead of SMTP. It definitely is not a pleasant experience to compose an email on numeric keypad, I always have to make it as short as possible.
