Not all mobile phones are blessed with a full QWERTY keypad for having great dexterity in quickly entering large texts in the handset. This is where Targus ThumbPad's role begins, as it connects to the mobile phone perfectly in order to replace the keypad that it lacks.

The device uses Bluetooth wireless connectivity in order to communicate with the handset, which makes it suitable for use with just about any device that comes equipped with this technology. The Targus Bluetooth Mobile ThumbPad is a highly useful companion for mobile workers with Bluetooth enabled Smart phones or PDAs.

The device comes in the dimensions of 100 x 60 x 15 mm, which makes it as large as a second mobile phone. For those who find a QWERTY keypad essential on their handset that lacks one can find a small price to pay in order to upgrade their handset.

It sounds like a great solution for those who could not afford a more evolved device that includes this feature from the starters. Moreover, it could also make a solution for users who find it extremely difficult to get accustomed with the virtual keypad of handsets that use only touchscreen and no buttons for entering text.

The ThumbPad slips onto the bottom of the mobile phone and takes up the space that would have been needed for a regular QWERTY keypad or on-screen keyboard. This makes it just as efficient as handsets that pack such a feature right from the beginning. Moreover, it also has high chances of feeling like a true treasure when playing mobile games on devices that have only touchscreen.

The requirements for using the Targus Bluetooth Mobile ThumbPad are that the user owns a Bluetooth enabled Smartphone or PDA with Windows Mobile 2003/2005, Symbian OS or Palm OS5.
