The Samsung Cell Phone

[GuyFawkes38]

has anyone else seen the commercial about the keyboard on the Samsung cell phone?

I'm carious how it works. Any ideas?

[GuyFawkes38]

bump, I'm really carious.

I know I'm posting this during the K state game. But its sort of a big deal getting in the guiness book of world records. Yet, there are no replies.

Did you even watch the game, Guy? And why do you insist on spelling curious wrong?

No he recorded and watched the samsung commerical 180-360 times in the three hours the game was on in an effort to find out how the phone works. No wait he only watched it 120-240 times in the 2 hours the game was supposed to take becuase he ddin't realize the game went into Overtime.

Poor Guy, buddies will be wanting to talk about the game last night, and he won't be able to recall a thing. Buddies, in good nature will ask if his cluelessness on the game is due to overuse of alcoholic products before, during, and after the game. When he relates the sad, sad tale of being more interested in a cell phone than the Musketeers his buddies revoke Guy's Xavier fan club membership card on the spot. In fact, the Man Card might even be in jeoprady. Now, if he were stuck at the mall with a spouse that didn't appreicate his manly needs to follow the Musketeers and was asking us how to get his hands on a FLO TV really fast, that would be different.

(With all due respct to Guy - who is this hour's honorary subject of grief as we recover from last night)

It uses a program called "Swype" - I tried to use it on my phone... not nearly as easy to learn as you'd think. It definitely takes some getting used to.

Basically instead of pressing individual letters on the touchscreen you just swipe through them all and the brains of the program discern what you are trying to type. You don't have to remove a finger from your keyboard. Another program called "ShapeWriter" works similarly. Look them up on YouTube.

very cool.

I'd imagine in the next couple years there will be major advancements in cell phone key boards/software.

I'm going to go ahead and bump this again.

This is a big deal.

[GuyFawkes38]

I'm bumping this again.

There's too much talk about Butler and not enough talk about this cell phone.

I cant' see how this could be faster... but I'm willing to give it a try.
