[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] knfb reader app?

Mon Jul 13 09:28:00 UTC 2015

I didn't even know you could still get nokia phones. I was forced to
move to an Iphone when my n95 finally died. But, the only reason I
went for the Iphone is because I have a Iphone case with a built in
bluetooth keyboard. It just fits around the phone like a regular case
but has a slide out keyboard on the bottom. So it gives me the best of
both worlds. But if I didn't have the hardware keyboard, I would not
have the Iphone because I am much slower at texting with the touch
screen than I am with a phisical keyboard or keypad that was on the
nokia. I will have to read up on that new blackberry phone but I
probably wont be changing from the Iphone now any time soon since I
have a phisical keyboard. I would like to take a look at phones that
already have a keyboard built in just to see how useable they are.
