Do You Need A QWERTY Keypad?
Wednesday January 14, 2009
3G mobile phones have many features that can benefit from a QWERTY keypad, but not everyone will necessarily benefit enough to justify the expense. This is because 3G mobile phones with QWERTY keypads are usually targeted towards business 3G users, who will often use the benefits of 3G Internet access to send and receive emails. Having to enter in emails using a numberpad can quickly get tiresome, so business 3G users who must send many emails will often opt to use QWERTY keypads. This will often, unfortunately, increase the prices of such 3G mobile phones, as the manufacturers know that business 3G users will be willing to pay more than personal 3G users.
Therefore, if you are considering the need for a mobile phone with a QWERTY keypad included, work out whether it is worth the extra cost. Touchscreen phones can provide similar functionality, just without the visceral click you can feel when using a real QWERTY keypad. These can often cost less, as well, so a phone like the iPhone 3G may be worth considering for personal use.
If you run your own business on the side, then 3G mobile phones with QWERTY keypads could easily be worth the cost if you find you need to reply to emails very quickly. As long as you can find a plan at the right price that includes a suitable 3G phone for you to use, then the costs of a phone with a QWERTY keypad can be spread over many months, making it much more affordable.
