We’ve highlighted text entry options for UMPCs and small notebooks before; shame on us for overlooking smartphone data entry! Over at Gear Diary, Jenneth puts her phone collection to the test. I was more surprised by the collection than the actual results; Jenneth rivals Matt Miller with her choice of smartphone for every day of the week…and then some! She practiced a standard sentence on each keyboard three times and then timed a fourth entry using the following devices:
- Sony Ericsson P1i
- BlackBerry Curve
- BlackBerry 8800
- Nokia E61i
- HTC Dash
- i-mate JASJAR
- Dopod838Pro
- Nokia N95 (the only phone tested without an alpha-numeric keyboard)
Can you pick the winner before you read the article? Check out the full results and ratings of each keyboard over at Gear Diary.
