First cellphone with Fastap keypad

fastap

We've been hearing about Digit Wireless' Fastap cellphone keypad (which squeezes a full alphabetical keyboard by interspersing lowered number keys between raised letter keys) forever, and the first handset with one, a modified LG 5450, is going to be offered by Telus Mobility in Canada. Our impatience with tapping out text messages on a regualr numeric keypad is what drove us into the arms of our Treo 600, so we'd be curious to see how well a Fastap cellphone works.
