CES 2006: Motorola TXTR D7 SMS keyboard

Motorola haven’t finished with the announcements at CES 2006. This is the Motorola TXTR D7, a curious gadget that’s a full QWERTY wireless keyboard that connects over-the-air to a compatible Motorola Bluetooth-enabled phone. Apparently, the point of the device is so you can type messages with convenience and ease. Whether in-transit or in an all-day meeting, the large screen enables easy viewing of incoming and outgoing texts, making this quick and efficient device a must have for professionals and frequent texters.
Right, but the whole point of text is its convenience. With only 160 characters, you can’t go writing theses anyway, so why have a dedicated and cumbersome QWERTY keyboard for the job? Not sure of the point of this one.
