MOBILE KEYPAD LAYOUT ALPHABETS SOFTWARE

If it comes mid-word, for example, the error-prevention software presumes the number press was accidental, and chooses the letter. Since it's easy for a thumb to stray onto a number key from the slightly raised perch of a letter button, Fastap is programmed to decide which one the user meant to press. The 'Q' key was pretty indistinguishable from the 'O' key, and so there were plenty of typos in my messages where a word like 'word' was misspelled as 'wqrd.'

My biggest complaint was that the letters were printed on the keys in a hard-to-read gray. Without a doubt, typing was swifter compared with the usual process of locating a letter on a number key and then tapping it multiple times to choose from among the three or four letters on that button. I tried out the Fastap keyboard on an otherwise ordinary LG handset from Alltel. Likewise, Fastap handsets generate twice as much revenue from text messaging and mobile Internet usage as comparable handsets. On average, Fastap users send more than twice as many text messages as Telus customers with a standard phone. Telus Mobility launched the first handset with Fastap in late 2004, and the customer response has been so encouraging the company has introduced two more models with the keyboard, the third arriving last month.Īccording to Telus, the Fastap keyboard is fueling higher usage of text messaging and other premium services that generate extra revenue.
