Those Phone Scoop guys are the best! I was lucky enough to briefly meet ‘em at CES and today I see that Eric posted an interesting video on YouTube. The LG AX 490 phone is available on the Alltel wireless network and sports the new "FasTap" entry method. FasTap places keys for every letter of the alphabet in the corners of the numeric keys; we’re talking more keys than the wardens in "Prison Break"! The real question is: does the FasTap method of text input work as fas’ as or faster than T9 predictive? You have to check out the video for the demo and the winner…I like the idea of using a test subject for the shootout as well. Eric grabbed someone who has never used FasTap or T9 entry, which is an excellent test!
