While it’s not exactly known by its handset business, we have seen several phones coming from the China’s largest listed telecommunications equipment provider. Now, Telus released ZTE’s Fastap-equipped D90 clamshell to accommodate (I guess) the frequent users of the text messaging service. As you can see from the image above, the ZTE D90 hides the full QWERTY keyboard alongside the standard numeric keypad under the flip. I’m not quite sure how this functions in the real world, but DigitWireless — creator of the Fastap keypad technology — promises the overall faster and simple phone usage.
Anyway, if you’re much into text messaging and are already on Telus, this device may be the one for you. It looks decent and is available from $79.99 CDN ($76) on a 3-year contract.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
