Hands-on with the A668, Motorola's touchpad cellphone

MobileBurn got hands-on (or more accurately, fingertips-on) with the A668, Motorola's new tri-band GSM handset which looks more or less like every other with clamshell out there, but tosses into the mix an unusual keypad that doubles as a touch-sensitive surface that let's you write out English and Chinese characters with your finger. Much as we'd want to scribble with our phone, this is mainly for the Asian market, where tapping out a Chinese text message with a regular numeric keypad is not so much fun.
