Didn't think so. What makes a novel? Is their a certain word limit? But can the guy in Japan lift cinder blocks with his thumbs!?!

Didn’t think so.

What makes a novel? Is their a certain word limit?

I think you can type a great deal using a Blackberry 8330 (Curve), but the screen hurts my eyes afte a while. I thought the keyboard on the Samsung SCH i760 was amazing. The HTC XV6800 with its slide out full qwerty keyboard gave me blisters on my thumbs. This man is amazing. Thanks for publishing this story! This is incredible.

Once I got used to the funny keyboard I got up to a speed much faster than anyone I know on any phone. I do a lot of writing on my Sony-Ericsson P1.

A Blackberry's keys are perfectly spaced for me, but that's preference. They are all beautiful devices and they all serve to help us more and more as new technologies are implemented.

Personally, I find WinMo slider phones much better for writing than BlackBerry. The keyboard is much wider.

I find the Blackberry devices are great for this. Especially since the jump to 4.5 and the Docs To Go program, which syncs perfectly with MS Word. Not to mention that if you are fast on the keyboard you can belt out many words in a short period of time. Also, the BBs multitasking functionality makes it perfect to listen to music, write, have your blog sites open, and all your email and IMs. Plus, you have access to dictionaries and the internet. In my personal opinion, the Blackberry is the perfect writers companion. WCM I am a writer and I use my phone to write/edit my stories. I find the Blackberry devices are great for this.
