Motorola Plans Finger-Writing Phone
Just tried it...
So I just spent some time with the A668. It's extremely cool.
The keypad is interesting. It looks like regular keys, with separate plastic and space between them, etc. There's no hint whatsoever that it's it a touchpad. But then you put it in FWR mode, and it just works, like magic. It's extremely sensitive and accurate, and pretty darn good at recognizing the characters, too.
The phone itself is fairly small, and very, very very lightweight.
I took a video of FWR in action. I'll post it as soon as I get the okay from Moto. (Should only be a few days.)

When will it be available?
Does anyone know if this phone will be available in the USA and what carrier it will be with?
It won't. Officially, this is an Asia-only product for now.
But perhaps one of the online retailers will make it available for import. Then you could buy it and use it with T-Mobile if you wanted.
